apparmor: Fix aa_label refcnt leak in policy_update
policy_update() invokes begin_current_label_crit_section(), which returns a reference of the updated aa_label object to "label" with increased refcount. When policy_update() returns, "label" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of policy_update(). When aa_may_manage_policy() returns not NULL, the refcnt increased by begin_current_label_crit_section() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by jumping to "end_section" label when aa_may_manage_policy() returns not NULL.
