[PATCH] qemu: Label vhostuser net device

Attaching a newly created vhostuser port to a VM fails due to an
apparmor denial

internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'chardev-add': Failed
to bind socket to /run/openvswitch/vhu838c4d29-c9: Permission denied

In the case of a net device type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_VHOSTUSER, the
underlying chardev is not labeled in qemuDomainAttachNetDevice prior
to calling qemuMonitorAttachCharDev. Label the chardev before calling
qemuMonitorAttachCharDev, and restore the label when removing the
net device.
