In qemu we catch accesses to files like /proc/cpuinfo or /proc/net/route
and return to the guest contents which would be visible on a real system
(instead what the host would show).

This patch fixes a bug, where for example the accesses
    cat /proc////cpuinfo
or
    cd /proc && cat cpuinfo
will not be recognized by qemu and where qemu will wrongly show
the contents of the host's /proc/cpuinfo file.

v2:
- use g_autofree instead of pathname on stack
  Daniel P. Berrangé requested to not put buffers on stack.
  Using g_autofree keeps code much cleaner than using
  extended semantics of realpath(), unless I can use g_autofree
  on malloced area from realpath().

g_autofree is backed by free(), so it is fine to use that
with the realpath() allocated buffer.
