Subject: [PATCH] qemu_process.c: Propagate hugetlbfs mounts on reconnect

When reconnecting to a running QEMU process, we construct the
per-domain path in all hugetlbfs mounts. This is a relict from
the past (v3.4.0-100-g5b24d25062) where we switched to a
per-domain path and we want to create those paths when libvirtd
restarts on upgrade.

And with namespaces enabled there is one corner case where the
path is not created. In fact an error is reported and the
reconnect fails. Ideally, all mount events are propagated into
the QEMU's namespace. And they probably are, except when the
target path does not exist inside the namespace. Now, it's pretty
common for users to mount hugetlbfs under /dev (e.g.
/dev/hugepages), but if domain is started without hugepages (or
more specifically - private hugetlbfs path wasn't created on
domain startup), then the reconnect code tries to create it.
But it fails to do so, well, it fails to set seclabels on the
path because, because the path does not exist in the private
namespace. And it doesn't exist because we specifically create
only a subset of all possible /dev nodes. Therefore, the mount
event, whilst propagated, is not successful and hence the
filesystem is not mounted. We have to do it ourselves.

If hugetlbfs is mount anywhere else there's no problem and this
is effectively a dead code.

Conflicts:
- docs/kbase/qemu-passthrough-security.rst: Well, v8.8.0-rc1~32
  isn't backported, thus we can't remove a paragraph that the
  backported commit did. It's a documentation after all, so no
  harm.
