Fix vdsm-faqemu VM launch failure on hosts with newer libvirt
Since January 2012, libvirt now checks[1] for the presence of /dev/kvm before
starting a VM to generate better error messages when a VM doesn't start.
This breaks faqemu running in a VM (non-nested) or a host which doesn't have KVM
modules loaded. Work around this by touching the device node.
