[libvirt] [PATCH] selinux: Drop needless getfilecon()-s

[Michal Privoznik]

When SELinux support was first introduced the libselinux library
wasn't that advanced and setfilecon_raw() or fsetfilecon_raw()
could fail even when the target context was set. Looking at the
current code [1][2] this is no longer the case. We can drop our
workarounds.
