Subject: [ABRT PATCH] dumpers: avoid AVC when creating dump directories

dump-oops and dump-xorg forces libreport to create a new dump directory
owned by root and the group abrt. That requires querying passwd and
group which is not yet allowed by selinux-policy:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219464

This is a temporary patch for rhel-7.1.z
