[Libguestfs] [PATCH v4 6/6] launch: libvirt: Fix labelling of overlay files.

We had code (added for RHBZ#912499) which labels overlay files
correctly so that libvirt can read them.  Unfortunately this code was
broken by subsequent commits: the new backend setting for the
imagelabel is only copied to the 'data' struct during launch, but the
create_cow_overlay callback is called before launch (when adding
drives).

The fix is easy: ensure create_cow_overlay_libvirt checks for the
backend setting and initializes the 'data' struct.

This change also means we need to free (data->selinux_imagelabel)
before setting it in launch (and we do the same for
data->selinux_label, although that's not strictly necessary).

For background on this, see:
