apparmor: fix a use-after-free in aa_lookupn_ns()

Browse Source 
aa_lookupn_ns() takes a reference on the namespace it finds with
aa_get_ns(), which is kref_get() on the reference count that the
namespace is released through, without checking whether the namespace
is still in use.  A concurrent removal of a ":"-prefixed namespace
looks the same namespace up and only then takes the parent lock to
remove it, so the last reference can be dropped between the lookup and
the aa_get_ns() call: the reference count then reports the increment on
a zero count and the kernel classifies the following use of the object
as a use-after-free.  A user with CAP_MAC_ADMIN can trigger this by
writing a ":<name>" removal and a ":<name>/<profile>" removal to
/sys/kernel/security/apparmor/.remove concurrently.

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
