[libvirt] [PATCH 02/14] Fix path used for USB device attach with LXC

The LXC code missed the 'usb' component out of the path
/dev/bus/usb/$BUSNUM/$DEVNUM, so it failed to actually
setup cgroups for the device. This was in fact lucky
because the call to virLXCSetupHostUsbDeviceCgroup
was also mistakenly passing '&priv->cgroup' instead of
just 'priv->cgroup'. So once the path is fixed, libvirtd
would then crash trying to access the bogus virCgroupPtr
pointer. This would have been a security issue, were it
not for the bogus path preventing the pointer reference
being reached.
