[Libguestfs] [PATCH] v2v: Fix RPM file owned test (RHBZ#1503958).

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Linux.file_owner is not used by any other function, so remove it.

Linux.is_file_owned is only used when removing kmod-xenpv on old RHEL
releases, and so is only required to work for RPM.

The old file_owner/is_file_owned functions were completely broken.
This replaces them with a simpler, working implementation that only
covers the narrow use case of removing kmod-xenpv non-owned
directories.

Thanks: Ming Xie for finding and reporting the original bug.
