[libvirt] Fix a failure to restore SELinux label for character devices

  The code in SELinuxRestoreSecurityChardevLabel() was trying to
use SELinuxSetFilecon directly for devices or file types while
it should really use SELinuxRestoreSecurityFileLabel encapsulating
routine, which avoid various problems like resolving symlinks,
making sure he file exists and work around NFS problems
