That's a good enough reason to forbid it in syntax-check.
In fact, the use of realpath in virFilleCanonicalizePath already
has a comment it's exempt from syntax-check. There is no rule for it,
because the comment is a leftover from when it used
canonicalize_file_name:
commit b4d601ba87ade7fa1a3a4f9c0c268659c15a35c3
util: use realpath/g_canonicalize_filename
The syntax-check rule was specifically introduced because of mocking:
commit 00d465bb4df4a49e07d51ce289142b5fae8ba344
syntax-check: Prohibit canonicalize_file_name()
