Libvirt doesn't have any default value. By default migration uses a
single connection.  The mgmt app can request multiple connections
for the migration, which will cause libvirt to turn on multifd with
the request channel count.

Essentially we avoid the problem by not having a separate tunable
for "multifd enable" & "multifd channels" - we only have one tunable
"connection count".  Thus the idea of enabling multifd with a default
channel count doesn't exist.
