[libvirt] [PATCH] Avoid segfault in virt-aa-helper when handling read-only mount filesystems
This patch fixes a segfault in virt-aa-helper caused by attempting to modify a string
literal in situ.
It is triggered when a domain has a <filesystem> with type='mount'
configured readonly, and libvirt is using the AppArmor security driver for sVirt
confinement.
