virBufferAsprintf should only be used with % format strings.  This fails
'make syntax-check':

prohibit_virBufferAsprintf_with_string_literal
src/security/virt-aa-helper.c:1107:        virBufferAsprintf(&buf, "
/dev/vfio/vfio rw,\n");
src/security/virt-aa-helper.c:1108:        virBufferAsprintf(&buf, "
/dev/vfio/[0-9]* rw,\n");
maint.mk: use virBufferAddLit, not virBufferAsprintf, with a string literal

I made the obvious change, and pushed in time for 1.2.3.
