That actually might be the case, that it actually does set the context
on /dev/urandom correctly and then the unlink fails for virtqemud since
the selinux policy only accounts for libvirtd even though we switched to
modular daemons making virtqemud the one to do the work.

@Michal can you confirm what I'm guessing here since you did a lot of
the mount namespace work which I presume is what contributes to the
issue here.

In the meantime, would you mind trying this with the mount namespace
feature turned off in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf like this:

namespaces = []

Thanks.
