I wasn't actually suggesting checking accessibility.
IMHO if you are going to have 2 guests both accessing the same file,
we should simply declare that they *MUST* both use the same label.
Simply reject the idea that the 2nd guest can change the label, using
a GID_B that magically still allows guest A to access it. Such scenarios
are way more likely to be an admin screw up than an intentional decision.
As an admin - the guest A might set svirt_image_t:s0:c12,c35. The guest B
then comes along and sets 'svirt_image_t:s0' which grants access to
all guests. This is a clearly a mistake because the first guests' label
was an exclusive access label, while the second guests label was a shared
access label. The lock manager should have blocked this, but I still
think we should also block it here, as the lock manager won't block it
until after you've already set the labels.
IOW we're justified in requiring strict equality of labels for all
guests, even if they technically might prevent something the kernel would
otherwise allow.

Simply don't try to decide that. Require identical labels for all
guests sharing the disk.

If we block guest B from starting unless its label is identical to that
originally used by guest A, we've nothing needing to rollback for guest
B.
