[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] fix: api: fix permission check for cloudinit drive update

Trying to regenerate a cloudinit drive as a non-root user via the API
currently throws a Perl error, as reported in the forum [1]. This is
due to a type mismatch in the permission check, where a string is
passed but an array is expected.

 To see if we have the same problem for other API endpoints, I ran:
    grep -r "['\"]perm['\"][^[]*]" .
 in my locally checked-out repos, but found only this single occurrence.
