apparmor: grab ns lock and refresh when looking up changehat child profiles

There was a race condition involving change_hat and profile replacement in
which replacement of the parent profile during a changehat operation could
result in the list of children becoming empty and the changehat operation
failing. To prevent this:
 - grab the namespace lock until we've built the hat transition, and
 - use aa_get_newest_profile to avoid using stale profile objects.
