[pve-devel] [PATCH cluster v6 2/3] Cluster: add get_guest_config_properties

[Dominik Csapak]

akin to get_guest_config_property, but with a list of properties.
uses the new CFS_IPC_GET_GUEST_CONFIG_PROPERTIES

also adds the same NOTEs regarding parsing/permissions to the comment
of get_guest_config_property
