[PATCH] AppArmor: Fix sleep in invalid context from task_setrlimit

[John Johansen]

Affected kernels 2.6.36 - 3.0

AppArmor may do a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation with task_lock(tsk->group_leader);
held when called from security_task_setrlimit.  This will only occur when the
task's current policy has been replaced, and the task's creds have not been
updated before entering the LSM security_task_setrlimit() hook.

As reported by Miles Lane
