If I boot with "security=apparmor", lsm_set_blob ends up with a NULL
"bp" and Oopses the kernel. Still happens with
"security=yama,apparmor". As soon as I add smack anywhere in the list,
everything is fine. It seems like the AppArmor init needs to be
changed to:

diff --git a/security/apparmor/lsm.c b/security/apparmor/lsm.c
index 78b271a..512f430 100644

 }

 static int __init apparmor_init(void)

Or maybe it still needs lsm_set_cred, but an earlier
lsm_set_init_cred? It's not clear to me yet.
