OriginalAuthor: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com>
OriginalLocation: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jj/linux-apparm$
commit: ea35fcdcec2316aa57f2d9d5c9ed9002d90b9607
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367499

A reference for a profile is not obtained from aa_newest_version(cxt->profile)
this would normally be valid as cxt->profile will hold a reference keeping
the profile valid, however cxt->profiles reference is replaced with the
new_profile reference
	aa_put_profile(cxt->profile);
	/* transfer new profile reference will be released when cxt is freed */
	cxt->profile = new_profile;

before we are done referencing profile in
        aa_audit_file(profile,

so obtain a reference to profile for the duration of the function.
