[libvirt] [PATCH v4 04/15] qemu_domain: Track if domain remembers original owner

[Michal Privoznik]

For metadata locking we might need an extra fork() which given
latest attempts to do fewer fork()-s is suboptimal. Therefore,
there will be a qemu.conf knob to enable or this feature. But
since the feature is actually not metadata locking itself rather
than remembering of the original owner of the file this is named
as 'rememberOwner'. But patches for that feature are not even
posted yet so there is actually no qemu.conf entry in this patch
nor a way to enable this feature.

Even though this is effectively a dead code for now it is still
desired.
