Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: fix possible memory leak in unpack_trans_table

If we fail to unpack the transition table then the table elements which
have been already allocated are not freed on error path.

Call aa_free_str_table() on error path as was done before the blamed
commit. It implements all necessary checks, frees str_table if it is
available and nullifies the pointers.
