entropyd: haveged service uses PrivateDevices=yes
On Debian, haveged fails to start with "haveged: Couldn't open random
device: Permission denied". strace shows:

    openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/random", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

audit.log has:

    type=AVC msg=audit(1566048720.132:1338): avc:  denied  { search }
    for  pid=20235 comm="haveged" name="/" dev="tmpfs" ino=76666
    scontext=system_u:system_r:entropyd_t
    tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t tclass=dir permissive=0

With systemd, /dev is a temporary filesystem (tmpfs_t), so haveged needs
the search permission to it in order to open /dev/random. Use the
newly-added interface to allow this access.
