[PATCH v2] 9pfs: local: read native symlinks when security-model=mapped

[Andrey Erokhin <language.lawyer@gmail.com>]

Directories attached using virtfs with security-model=mapped
may contain native symlinks

This can happen e.g. when booting from a rootfs directory tree
(usually with a writable overlay set up on the host side)

Currently, when security-model=mapped[-xattr|-file],
QEMU assumes that host-side "symlinks" are in the mapped format,
i.e. are regular files storing the linked path,
so it tries to open with O_NOFOLLOW
and fails with ELOOP on native symlinks

This patch introduces a fallback for such cases:
reuse security-model=[none|passthrough] else if branch logic
where readlink will be called for the path basename

Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/173
