[PATCH] apparmor: secid: fix error return value in error handling path

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Fri May 04 2018 - 09:39:45 EST


Currently, function apparmor_secid_to_secctx returns always zero,
no matter if the value returned by aa_label_asxprint is negative
(which implies that an error has occurred).

Fix this by temporarily storing the value returned by aa_label_asxprint
into a variable of type int (signed) for its further evaluation.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1468514 ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: c092921219d2 ("apparmor: add support for mapping secids and using secctxes")
