    libvirt: partial fix for live-migration with config drive

    In current version of nova, live-migration with config drive on
    local disk is forbidden due to the bug of libvirt of copying readonly
    disk. However, if we use vfat as the format of config drive,
    the function of live-migration works well.

    In this patch, we re-open the function of live-migration to admin users.
    Notice you should add 'config_drive_format=vfat' in nova.conf explicitly.

    This patch doesn't solve the problem fundamentally which need further
    efforts, but offers a simple and feasible workaround to user.
