** Description changed:
There's a memory leak in the kernel when removing a profile.
A simple reproducible example:
root@ubuntu:~# echo "profile foo {}" > profile
root@ubuntu:~# apparmor_parser profile
root@ubuntu:~# apparmor_parser -R profile
root@ubuntu:~# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
root@ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff99bcf5128bb0 (size 16):
comm "apparmor_parser", pid 1318, jiffies 4295139856 (age 33.196s)
hex dump (first 16 bytes):

+ Note that only privileged users can remove a profile.
