[libvirt] [PATCH] audit: properly encode device path in cgroup audit

Commit d04916fa introduced a regression in audit quality - even
though the code was computing the proper escaped name for a
path, it wasn't feeding that escaped name on to the audit message.
As a result, /var/log/audit/audit.log would mention a field
path=/dev/hpet instead of the intended path="/dev/hpet", which
in turn caused ausearch to format the audit log as path=(null).

* src/conf/domain_audit.c (virDomainAuditCgroupPath): Use
constructed encoding.

A rather embarrassing bug of mine, especially since it took
two years to find that such a trivial fix was needed.
