[libvirt] [PATCH v2] logging: Don't inhibit shutdown in system daemon

That is a job of libvirtd and virtlogd has a dependency on it, so that will
prevent it properly.  Doing it one extra time in virtlogd might also cause AVC
denials because it is not allowed to call that dbus method.

Caused by commit df34363d58bb.

I have an idea how to make this way nicer, but it requires a rework and maybe
people will not like it as much, so for now this is the preferred fix.

v2:
 - Don't revert the shutdown inhibition for all instances, only for the system
   one.

v1:
 - https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-April/msg02381.html
