[libvirt] [PATCH] is_selinux_enabled returns -1 on error, account for this.

Per the documentation, is_selinux_enabled() returns -1 on error. Account 
for this. Previously when -1 was being returned the condition would 
still be true. I was noticing this because on my system that has selinux 
disabled I was getting this in the libvirt.log every 5 seconds:

error : virIdentityGetSystem:173 : Unable to lookup SELinux process 
context: Invalid argument

With this patch applied, I no longer get these messages every 5 seconds. 
I am submitting this in case its deemed useful for inclusion. Anyone 
have any comments on this change? This is a patch off current master.
