[PATCH 7/8] Avoid unsafe use of /proc/$PID/root in LXC chardev hostdev hotplug

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rewrite lxcDomainAttachDeviceHostdevMisceLive function
to use the virProcessRunInMountNamespace helper. This avoids
risk of a malicious guest replacing /dev with a absolute
symlink, tricking the driver into changing the host OS
filesystem.
