apparmor: fix NULL ctx->peer derefs in unix socket ctx updates

aa_unix_file_perm lazily refreshes the AppArmor context cached on a unix
socket. Two of the helpers it uses assume ctx->peer has already been set:

	update_peer_ctx ->  l = aa_label_merge(old, label, GFP_ATOMIC);
	update_sk_ctx   ->  } else if (aa_label_is_subset(plabel, old)) {

where @old is ctx->peer. Neither aa_label_merge nor aa_label_is_subset
allows NULL. So both fault on the aa_label->size load.

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000004c
  RIP: 0010:__aa_label_next_not_in_set+0xb/0xd0
  Call Trace:
   aa_label_is_subset+0x3f/0x70
   aa_unix_file_perm+0x5e8/0x9d0
   aa_file_perm+0x45a/0x550

ctx->peer is only recorded for stream connections and socket pairs.
unix_dgram_connect sets unix_peer(sk) without going through that path,
so a connected AF_UNIX datagram socket has unix_peer(sk) set while
ctx->peer is still NULL, and the first write that needs revalidation
reaches the helpers above.

Both derefs date back to the Fixes: commit, but the update_sk_ctx() one
was dormant until commit 4483efe4f2 ("apparmor: fix shadowing of plabel
that prevents cache from being updated") stopped @plabel being shadowed,
which is why bisecting the oops lands there.

A NULL @old just means no peer label has been recorded yet, so install
the label directly instead of merging or comparing against it.
