Description

To reproduce:
(with kernel tracing available)

lttng create test
lttng enable-channel testChan -k

(For comparison)
lttng enable-channel testChanUst -u

lttng save -a

The resulting XML reveal a bug for the liver_timer_interval propagation from session to a kernel channel. The live_timer_interval from the kernel channel(testChan) is not overwrite by the live_timer from the session and take the max uint value(4294967295). As discussed with David Goulet on irc, this might be a case of uninitialized variable.

On the other hand to propagation for UST channel is okay as seen in the XML.

David Goulet found a possible reason but with source code modification it seems this is not the problem. See attached patch.
