John Johansen b2a8011ae8 apparmor: move check for aa_null file to cover all cases 
[ Upstream commit 4a134723f9 ]

files with a dentry pointing aa_null.dentry where already rejected as
part of file_inheritance. Unfortunately the check in
common_file_perm() is insufficient to cover all cases causing
unnecessary audit messages without the original files context.

Eg.
[ 442.886474] audit: type=1400 audit(1704822661.616:329): apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_inherit" class="file" namespace="root//lxd-juju-98527a-0_<var-snap-lxd-common-lxd>" profile="snap.lxd.activate" name="/apparmor/.null" pid=9525 comm="snap-exec"

Further examples of this are in the logs of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/2120439
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1952084
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/2049099

These messages have no value and should not be sent to the logs.
AppArmor was already filtering the out in some cases but the original
patch did not catch all cases. Fix this by push the existing check
down into two functions that should cover all cases.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
