[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] host-validate: Be more careful when checking for cgroup support

[Andrea Bolognani]

Simply checking whether the cgroup name appears somewhere inside
/proc/self/cgroup is enough most of the time, but there are some
corner cases that require a more mindful parsing.

As a bonus, after the rewrite 'line' is no longer leaked.
