Subject: [GIT PULL][SECURITY] Apparmor bugfix

Please pull this fix for 4.9.

>From JJ: "This is a fix for a policy replacement bug that is fairly 
serious for apache mod_apparmor users, as it results in the wrong policy 
being applied on an network facing service."

    apparmor: fix change_hat not finding hat after policy replacement
    
    After a policy replacement, the task cred may be out of date and need
    to be updated. However change_hat is using the stale profiles from
    the out of date cred resulting in either: a stale profile being applied
    or, incorrect failure when searching for a hat profile as it has been
    migrated to the new parent profile.
    
    Fixes: 01e2b670aa898a39259bc85c78e3d74820f4d3b6 (failure to find hat)
    Fixes: 898127c34ec03291c86f4ff3856d79e9e18952bc (stale policy being applied)
