apparmor: prefer /proc/.../attr/apparmor/current over legacy interface
It turns out that since Linux 5.1 there are now per-LSM subdirectories for major LSMs, which users are recommended to use over the "legacy" top-level /proc/$pid/attr/... files[1]: > Process attributes associated with “major” security modules should be > accessed and maintained using the special files in /proc/.../attr. A > security module may maintain a module specific subdirectory there, > named after the module. /proc/.../attr/smack is provided by the Smack > security module and contains all its special files. The files directly > in /proc/.../attr remain as legacy interfaces for modules that provide > subdirectories. AppArmor has had such a directory since Linux 5.8[2], and it turns out that with certain CONFIG_LSM configurations you can end up with AppArmor files not being accessible from the legacy interface. Arch Linux recently added BPF as one of the enabled LSM in their configuration, and this broke runc[3] and LXC. The solution is to first try to use /proc/$pid/attr/apparmor/current and fall back to /proc/$pid/attr/current if the former is not available.
