OVP-929 : with ovp-kvm, libvirt enables sanlock, but sanlock is not installed

Description

We build libvirt with sanlock enabled by default:

  base/recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.1.2.bbappend

  PACKAGECONFIG = "... sanlock ..."
  PACKAGECONFIG[sanlock] = "--with-sanlock, --without-sanlock,sanlock,augeas"

I copied /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf over to an ovp-kvm rootfs from an ovp-ovirt-node rootfs (by accident/stupidity); it contained:

  lock_manager="sanlock"

When I tried to start a VM with libvirt, it failed:

  # virsh start donn-guest
  error: Failed to start domain donn-guest
  error: Child quit during startup handshake: Input/output error

  # 

I traced the command and found:

  2405  connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, sun_path="/var/run/sanlock/sanlock.sock"}, 110 <unfinished ...>
  2405  <... connect resumed> )           = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  [...]
  2405  write(2, "libvirt: Lock Driver error : Failed to open socket to sanlock daemon: No such file or directory\n", 96 <unfinished ...>

The directory is missing because its /etc/default/volatiles definition is in the sanlock RPM, and we only install the sanlock-lib RPM with ovp-kvm.

Workaround

Copy the sanlock RPM over from the build host and install it.  Or remove the lock_manager line from /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.

Steps to Reproduce

.../configure --enable-board=intel-xeon-core --enable-kernel=preempt-rt+xfs --enable-rootfs=ovp-kvm+gdb --enable-addons=wr-ovp ...
make all
ls -l export/dist/usr/sbin/sanlock
