Bug Description

* Impact

The error tracked got some reports of issues since 0.9 was SRUed to focal which has been halting the update.

* Test Case

Check the error tracker for focal reported issue, the one which started with the 0.9 SRU should stop being reported after the update.

Confirm that the boltctl correctly list authorized devices and that connecting a new one triggers a prompt on the desktop, then that settings correctly include the newly authorized device

* Regression potential

The patch only correctly initialize the syspath variable of the device structure to null. If that was not handled correctly by the code the service could crash or fail to detect properly connected devices.
