Subject: [PATCH 15/17] apparmor: fix incorrect type assignment when freeing proxies
References: FATE#323500
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc2
Git-commit: bc4d82fb946e7b471eab2a80e384227c4eb15652
sparse reports
poisoning the proxy->label before freeing the struct is resulting in
a sparse build warning.
../security/apparmor/label.c:52:30: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
../security/apparmor/label.c:52:30: expected struct aa_label [noderef] <asn:4>*label
../security/apparmor/label.c:52:30: got struct aa_label *<noident>
fix with RCU_INIT_POINTER as this is one of those cases where
rcu_assign_pointer() is not needed.
