Subject: [PATCH] qemu: properly set MaxMemLock when hotplugging with VFIO

This resolves:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035490

virProcessSetMaxMemLock() (which is a wrapper over prlimit(3)) expects
the memory size in bytes, but libvirt's domain definition (which was
being used by qemuDomainAttachHostPciDevice()) stores all memory
tuning parameters in KiB. This was being accounted for when setting
MaxMemLock at domain startup time (so cold-plugged devices would
work), but not for hotplug.

This patch simplifies the few lines that call
virProcessSetMemMaxLock(), and multiply the amount * 1024 so that
we're locking the correct amount of memory.

Note that even without this patch, hot-plug of a managed='no' device
would appear to succeed (at least on my system) while managed='yes'
would fail. I guess in one case the memory was coincidentally already
resident and in the other it wasn't. However, this apparently
successful hotplug would result in a device that was not fully usable
by the guest.

(cherry picked from commit 6d867f72f4f5fd75905e81b2d43350e7091fca64)
