libvirt's security driver API offers several functions to restore the domain 
security labels
these functions are called upon various events and one of them is the runtime 
removal of a hot-plug device.

in case of apparmor security driver, these functions call the helper
/usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper to update  the apparmor dynamic profile
(generated at VM runtime):

/usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper -r -u <UUID>

(-r : replace)

this will swipe out the current dynamic profile and generate a brand new
one based on the VM domain definition that does not contains the hot-
plug devices.

as a consequence, the new profile does not contain any rule for the
dynamic devices that the VM might still have.
