Remove an unnecessary restriction from the AppArmor network capability patch.
When a newer version of the tools is used with an older kernel, it may build
in extra rules for newer networking protocols that the older kernel does
not know about.

The older kernel can safely ignore the extra rules as it should never
create sockets using the newer protocols.

If this patch changes to accept size > AF_MAX , this patch should change
to allocate net.allow[size] rather than net.allow[AF_MAX] .

yes it should, I did make that change but it looks like I didn't push it
to the remote repo from which I pulled :(
