I am not convinced this is correct fix. This would fix only some use
cases where base image is under /var/lib/nova/.. path. The root cause
seems to be virt-aa-helper not putting backing store into the profile
but looking into the code it does. So we might need to debug
virt-aa-helper adding disks with backing chain instead of blindly
allowing some path.
