So far we are relying on QEMU or sysadmin to create the file for
pstore. This is suboptimal as in the case of the former we can
not set proper seclabels (there's nothing to set seclabels on
until QEMU is started).

Therefore, make sure the file is created before launching QEMU
and that it has the correct size.
