libhal does not provide a callback that is called whenever an ACL
entry is removed/added to a device file. All it provides are callbacks
for the devices themselves being added/removed.

When the active session is switched HAL will make sure that the new
active user acn access the audio devices and the old user can no
longer. PA needs to know that so that it can suspend/resume its devices.
