An update that has one security fix can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for kubevirt-1.6 fixes the following issues:

  * Package the persistent-reservation helper's entrypoint script (bsc#1276520):
    virt-operator runs the pr-helper container with the command /entrypoint.sh,
    which symlinks the multipath socket into place and then execs qemu-pr-
    helper. Only multipath.conf was installed, so the container could not start
    and persistent reservation was unavailable. The script is upstream in
    cmd/pr-helper/entrypoint.sh.

## Patch Instructions:

To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like
YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
