[PATCH v2 3/4] qemu_tpm: Get swtpm pid without binary validation

[Vasiliy Ulyanov]

Access to /proc/[pid]/exe may be restricted in certain environments (e.g.
in containers) and any attempt to stat(2) or readlink(2) the file will
result in 'permission denied' error if the calling process does not have
CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability. According to proc(5) manpage:

Permission to dereference or read (readlink(2)) this symbolic link is
governed by a ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS check; see
ptrace(2).

The binary validation in virPidFileReadPathIfAlive may fail with EACCES.
Therefore instead do only the check that the pidfile is locked by the
correct process. To ensure this is always the case the daemonization and
pidfile handling of the swtpm command is now controlled by libvirt.
