security: fix deadlock with prefork
Attempts to start a domain with both SELinux and DAC security modules loaded will deadlock; latent problem introduced in commit fdb3bde and exposed in commit 29fe5d7. Basically, when recursing into the security manager for other driver's prefork, we have to undo the asymmetric lock taken at the manager level. Reported by Jiri Denemark, with diagnosis help from Dan Berrange. * src/security/security_stack.c (virSecurityStackPreFork): Undo extra lock grabbed during recursion.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
