Does your group/company/whatever actually use apparmor? If so, this
isn't the only commit that needs to be backported. I'm waiting on a
"correct" set of 6.1.y patches from John before applying all of them to
6.1.y and then I can take the patch series that he gave me for 5.10.y
and 5.15.y and will queue them up.

So thanks for this backport, but it's not going to help resolve all of
the recent fixes that went in as part of this series by just applying
one of them.

thanks,
