Subject: [PATCH] rust: auxiliary: use `pin_init::zeroed()` for  device ID

Replace the previous `unsafe { core::mem::zeroed() }` initialization
for `bindings::auxillary_device_id` with `pin_init::zeroed()`. This removes
the explicit unsafe block and uses the safer pinned zero-initialization
helper.
