Perhaps better would be to convert the xfs uuid_t typedef
to the include/uapi/linux/uuid.h appropriate struct and
maybe use a comparison to NULL_UUID_<type>

And to amplify Eric's comment:

that bit is confusing as it makes uuid look
like a function pointer.

There shouldn't be a space after sizeof.
