Purpose of changes

Fixes #476

The container works correctly when it is started for the first time:

However, after restarting the container, the Android emulator fails to start:

After the container is restarted, the ownership/group of /dev/kvm changes:

androidusr@379dfd412626:~$ ll /dev/kvm
crw-rw---- 1 0 994 10, 232 Aug 12 20:49 /dev/kvm

As a result, androidusr no longer has permission to access /dev/kvm, preventing QEMU from creating and running the Android emulator.

This change ensures that /dev/kvm has the correct ownership and permissions after the container is restarted.
