[Bug 1648634] [NEW] opencryptoki breaks p11-kit

Public bug reported:

When opencryptoki is installed, it creates a symlink from /etc/pkcs11 to
/var/lib/opencryptoki, which is readable only by root.

This means that anything using p11-kit to find the PKCS#11 modules which
are configured to be available in the system (which is basically any
well-behaved application) now breaks:

$ openconnect -c 'pkcs11:token=eToken;id=%01' server.example.com
POST https://server.example.com/
Attempting to connect to server [fec0::1]:443
p11-kit: couldn't open config file: /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf: Permission denied
Error loading certificate from PKCS#11: PKCS #11 initialization error.
Loading certificate failed. Aborting.

$ p11tool --list-tokens
p11-kit: couldn't open config file: /etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf: Permission denied
pkcs11_init: PKCS #11 initialization error.
