When starting a guest, helper processes are started first. But
they need a bit of special handling. Just consider a regular cold
boot and an incoming migration. For instance, in case of swtpm
with its state on a shared volume, we want to set label on the
state for the cold boot case, but don't want to touch the label
in case of incoming migration (because the source very
specifically did not restore it either).
Until now, these two cases were differentiated by testing
@incoming against NULL. And while that makes sense for other
aspects of domain startup, for external devices we need a bit
more, because a restore from a save file is also 'incoming
migration'.
Now, there is a difference between regular migration and restore
from a save file. In the former case we do not want to set
seclabels in the save state. BUT, in the latter case we do need
to set them, because the code that saves the machine restored
seclabels.
