Mark temporary block device as fixed_disk_device_t 

When udev creates the temporary block devices (such as /dev/.tmp-block-8:1) they
get by default marked as device_t. However, in case of software raid devices,
the mdadm application (running in mdadm_t) does not hold the proper privileges
to access this for its auto-assembly of the raids.

Other block device applications, like blkid (running in fsadm_t) use these
temporary block devices as well, but already hold the necessary privileges on
device_t to continue their work.

By marking the temporary block device as a fixed_disk_device_t, all these block
device handling applications (such as blkid, but also mdadm) now hold the proper
privileges. Since udev is selinux-aware, the created files are immediately
restorecon'ed before the rules are applied.
