SRU Justification: Failure to put the cred causes a memory leak that is
larger than the cred struct, as it leaks everything it references. This
happens for every unconfined processes that does an exec, change_hat or
change_profile and passes through this function.

AppArmor when doing ptrace check for domain changes, fails to drop
the ref count on the task creds when it is unconfined.

Sounds and looks sensible. Also implications sound SRU worthy.

Ok, the change itself looks fine if we have taken the cred reference we
should return it.

I just want to confirm that aa_get_task_policy() cannot return a valid
tracerp but a null cred?  Else the put_cred() might oops.  A quick look
at that seems to say its ok.  Assuming that is true:

Well you have already, seen Patch 5 so know that it might oops.  The reason
for the split is I was trying to treat the as distinct bugs, and keep the
fixes distinct and minimal.
