Bug 2000983

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2000410 +++

Description of problem:

using virt-qemu-run to start guest with specified root dir and luks image failed with error "No current identity to elevate"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-7.6.0-2.module+el8.5.0+12219+a5ea13d2.x86_64



How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.prepare a qcow2 luks image
#qemu-img create --object secret,id=sec0,data=123456 -f qcow2 -o encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 /var/lib/libvirt/images/luks.qcow2 1G

2.Prepare secret xml and secret value:
#cat /xml/secret.xml
  <secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
         <description>LUKS Sample Secret</description>
         <uuid>f981dd17-143f-45bc-88e6-ed1fe20ce9da</uuid>
         <usage type='volume'>
            <volume>/var/lib/libvirt/images/luks.img</volume>
         </usage>
      </secret> 

#cat /xml/secret-value
123456

3.Prepare a guest xml with the luks image:
#cat /tmp/vm1.xml
...
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none' io='threads' copy_on_read='off'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/luks.qcow2' index='1'>
              <encryption format='luks'>
        <secret type='passphrase' uuid='f981dd17-143f-45bc-88e6-ed1fe20ce9da'/>
</encryption>
     </source>
...
</disk>
...

4. Start guest with specified root dir and luks image:
# virt-qemu-run -s /xml/secret.xml,/xml/value -d -v -r /tmp/test1 /tmp/vm1.xml

Actual results:

Start vm without specified root dir has same issue
