[libvirt] [PATCH] Use virFileResolveLink instead of readlink in AppArmor

Was this patch tested? I initially tried to use virFileResolveLink() but
could not. This was discussed in "[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] AppArmor
updates" from 11/12/2009:

"Implements all changes requested by DV except for getting rid of
readlink(). I can't use virFileResolveLink() because it lstat()s the
file and uses st.st_size to create a buffer. Unfortunately, running
lstat() on /proc/self/exe results in st.st_size to be 0."

Unless virFileResolveLink() was changed, this patch will break AppArmor.
