Peter Krempa eabeae605f security_(dac|selinux): Unref remembered security labels on outgoing migration
When 'qemuSecurityRestoreAllLabel' is called on outgoing migration it
skips the actual relabeling part of the images in dac/selinux drivers in
order to avoid cutting off access to the image.

As shared filesystems don't really support the trusted XATTR groups,
remembering of security labels never worked on those paths so we never
actually had remembered seclabels for images that could be migrated.

With recent changes we now support migration from local storage to
remote in case the admin declares it as shared. This means that in case
when the VM is started on local storage we'd actually store seclabels,
but when migrating out the XATTRs remembering the seclabels would not
actually be unref'd and thus the seclabels would leak.

As we can't know whether a remote host will be able to use the XATTRs or
not (but really it won't) and at the same time the destination side of
migration will actually call 'qemuSecuritySetAllLabel' setting/refing
it's own seclabels we really need to unref them on our side.

This patch adds the appropriate *RecallLabel() calls on the code paths
in which relabelling is skipped due to migration.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
