Since a fix for CVE-2022-24765 was released every git command is now
checked against the context repo in which it's supposed to run

one running the git command.
This means that in order to be able to do 'sudo make install', we have
to set the 'safe.directory' for the root user. This is because QEMU
runs 'git submodule update' automatically on 'make install'.

FWIW we could alternatively update the submodules manually, but we'd have list
them explicitly, IOW:
$ git clone qemu ...
$ cd qemu.git
$ scripts/git-submodule.sh ui/keycodemapdb dtc slirp
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure ... --with-git-submodules=ignore
$ make -jN && sudo make install
