Subject: [PATCH 4.14 011/343] apparmor: dont try to replace stale label in ptrace access check

From: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 1f8266ff58840d698a1e96d2274189de1bdf7969 ]

As a comment above begin_current_label_crit_section() explains,
begin_current_label_crit_section() must run in sleepable context because
when label_is_stale() is true, aa_replace_current_label() runs, which uses
prepare_creds(), which can sleep.
Until now, the ptrace access check (which runs with a task lock held)
violated this rule.

Also add a might_sleep() assertion to begin_current_label_crit_section(),
because asserts are less likely to be ignored than comments.

Fixes: b2d09ae449ced ("apparmor: move ptrace checks to using labels")
