[3/5] UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: Fix cap audit_caching preemption disabling

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479102

SRU Justification: Failing to put_cpu_var means that kernel preemption is
disabled for the task. This will affect all confined processes that try
to audit a capability message (so an process that has capability violation
or is in learning mode and would have a capability violation).

The auditing code of capabilities, has a simple cache to reduce capability
messages flooding the audit logs.  Checking and updating the cache
disables kernel preemption.  One potential exit path does not properly
put the per cpu var, thus not reenabling preemption.

Clearly fixes the described problem as it matches the get with a put.

This is a nice short section, looks right to me.
