This means we'll be running restore on /dev/BLAH in the host namespace,
which is a file we didn't set a label/permissions on originally. I think
this is probably safe though, as we'd just be resetting it to a label
that it should already have and thus be a no-op. I'm a little more
concerned about file permiissions though, as we might end up changing
group from "disk" to "root" for example.
It feels like we need to explicitly skip restore for block devices
if we had namespaces in use previously.
