Do nor clear caps when invoking virt-aa-helper
The calls to virExec() in security_apparmor.c when invoking virt-aa-helper use VIR_EXEC_CLEAR_CAPS. When compiled without libcap-ng, this is not a problem (it's effectively a no-op) but with libcap-ng this causes MAC_ADMIN to be cleared. MAC_ADMIN is needed by virt-aa-helper to manipulate apparmor profiles and without it VMs will not start[1]. This patch calls virExec with the default VIR_EXEC_NONE instead. * src/security/security_apparmor.c: fallback to VIR_EXEC_NONE flags for virExec of virt_aa_helper
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.

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
Hypervisor.
