Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: fix reference count leak in aa_pivotroot()
Mime-version: 1.0

Git-commit: 11c3627ec6b56c1525013f336f41b79a983b4d46
Patch-mainline: v6.0-rc1
References: git-fixes

The aa_pivotroot() function has a reference counting bug in a specific
path. When aa_replace_current_label() returns on success, the function
forgets to decrement the reference count of “target”, which is
increased earlier by build_pivotroot(), causing a reference leak.

Fix it by decreasing the refcount of “target” in that path.
