[ovirt-users] Upgrade to 3.5.3 fails on ovirt-engine-notifier service

[Trey Dockendorf]

I thought using /usr/share/ovirt-engine was wrong, but I was going off of
RedHat docs [1].  I didn't realize an alternative location existed.

Having just searched some more I found the oVirt docs [2] which I don't
recall existing or mentioning the conf.d at the time I setup the notifier
service.

Thanks,
- Trey
