From: John Johansen <john.johansen@...onical.com>

commit c037bd615885f1d9d3bdb48531bace79fae1505d upstream.

The patch 736ec752d95e: "AppArmor: policy routines for loading and
unpacking policy" from Jul 29, 2010, leads to the following static
checker warning:

    security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:410 verify_accept()
    warn: bitwise AND condition is false here

    security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:413 verify_accept()
    warn: bitwise AND condition is false here
