On systems with selinux enabled starting a VM with managed host device
using IOMMUFD backend can run into race-condition where both libvirt and
udev are setting selinux label on /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX device. If
udev is the last one to set selinux label starting VM fails with:
error: internal error: QEMU unexpectedly closed the monitor (vm='test'): 2026-03-26T15:47:36.620422Z qemu-kvm: -device {"driver":"vfio-pci","id":"hostdev0","iommufd":"iommufd0","fd":"20","bus":"pci.7","addr":"0x0"}: vfio hostdev0: Failed to add fd 20 to KVM VFIO device: Invalid argument
We need to wait for udev to finish processing all events.
