[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: only request sound cgroup ACL when required

When a SPICE or VNC graphics controller is present, and sound is
piggybacked over a channel to the graphics device rather than
directly accessing host hardware, then there is no need to grant
host hardware access to that qemu process.

* src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c (qemuSetupCgroup): Prevent sound with
spice, and with vnc when vnc_allow_host_audio is 0.
Reported by Daniel Berrange.

Daniel noticed this while reviewing the audit code - the audit
proved that we were allowing more resources than necessary.
