In off-list discussions with Mickaël today it was noted that this
patch also needs a fixup to the commit description so I've replaced it
with the following:

  "In apparmor_getselfattr() when an invalid AppArmor
   attribute is requested, or a value hasn't been explicitly
   set for the requested attribute, the label passed to
   aa_put_label() is not properly initialized which can cause
   problems when the pointer value is non-NULL and AppArmor
   attempts to drop a reference on the bogus label object."

I've updated the commit in lsm/stable-6.8 and I'll be sending it to
Linus shortly.
