SELinux doesn't like this.  We never label the pipe here, and
qemuMonitorMigrateToFd doesn't label the outgoing pipe either.  Thus,
when we hand the fd to qemu for tunneled migration, SELinux rejects the
first write() attempt, and qemu fails with:

internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'getfd': No file
descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS

I'm still testing this, but based on how we label the incoming pipe in
qemuProcessStart, I think this will solve the problem.
