[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] security: aa-helper: gl devices in sysfs at arbitrary depth

Further testing with more devices showed that we sometimes have a
different depth of pci device paths when accessing sysfs for device
attributes.

But since the access is limited to a set of filenames and read only it
is safe to use a wildcard for that.

Related apparmor denies - while we formerly had only considered:
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
  name="/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/uevent"
  requested_mask="r"

We now also know of cases like:
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
  name="/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:1c:00.0/uevent"
  requested_mask="r"
