[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: fix regression with fd labeling on migration

My earlier testing for commit 34fa0de0 was done while starting
just-built libvirt from an unconfined_t shell, where the fds happened
to work when transferring to qemu.  But when installed and run under
virtd_t, failure to label the raw file (with no compression) or the
pipe (with compression) triggers SELinux failures when passing fds
over SCM_RIGHTS to svirt_t qemu.

* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c (qemuMigrationToFile): When passing
FDs, make sure they are labeled.
---

This copies the fd-labeling approach added in commit 34a19dda1.

With this patch, I tested both unconfined_t and virtd_t SELinux
process labels for libvirtd (shell start vs. init start).

virsh managedsave dom/virsh start dom
works for both raw and compressed save_image_format, both contexts

virsh save dom file/virsh restore file
works for raw save_image_format, both contexts
works for compressed with virtd_t context
save fails for compressed with unconfined_t context, with the failure
looking identical to the previously-reported failure for restore
in the same settings (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691499)

So I'm reasonably confident that this is a good patch.
