Squelch the denial by allowing read access to /proc/<pid>/cmdline.

Note: In the audit.log snippet, PID 1475 is libvirtd and 2958 is the
qemu process. I must admit it is not clear to me why
/proc/<libvirtd-pid>/cmdline is read on domain shutdown.
It's result of these qemu patches:
fbe7e3327a8cfa1b08664c2cda7a0a341cf0530a
7dc9ae4339faa97e89daadb2e1098147ab4aadc8
Whenever qemu receives a signal it reports PID that sent it. However,
this doesn't help anything really - processes come and go, PIDs change.
I recall debugging some issue where qemu was dying and all I could see
was PID. I was quite certain that the signal was not sent by libvirtd.
The only way to prove it was to have those two patches in so that qemu
can now report process name among with the PID.
