[PATCH v2 1/2] qemu: Pre-create pstore device file

So far we are relying on QEMU or sysadmin to create the file for pstore. This is suboptimal as in the case of the former we can not set proper seclabels (there's nothing to set seclabels on until QEMU is started). Therefore, make sure the file is created before launching QEMU and that it has the correct size.
