[libvirt] [PATCH 08/12] apparmor, libvirt-qemu: add generic base vfio device

vfio devices are generated on the fly, but the generic base is missing.

The base vfio has not much functionality but to provide a custom
container by opening this path.
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vfio.txt for more.

Current access by qemu is "wr":
[ 2652.756712] audit: type=1400 audit(1491303691.719:25):
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="libvirt-17a61b87-5132-497c-b928-421ac2ee0c8a"
name="/dev/vfio/vfio" pid=8486 comm="qemu-system-x86"
requested_mask="wr" denied_mask="wr" fsuid=64055 ouid=0
