Public bug reported:

SRU Justification:

[ Impact ]

fusermount3 lacked permissions to mount to /cvmfs subdirectories,
breaking usage of the CernVM FS.

[ Test Plan ]

 * The following instructions are adapted from 
https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cpt-quickstart.html
   - Install the cvmfs packages
     + `wget 
https://cvmrepo.s3.cern.ch/cvmrepo/apt/cvmfs-release-latest_all.deb`
     + `sudo dpkg -i cvmfs-release-latest_all.deb`
     + `sudo apt-get -y update`
     + `sudo apt-get -y install cvmfs`
   - Set up autofs configs by running `sudo cvmfs_config setup` and `sudo 
systemctl restart autofs`
   - Create `/etc/cvmfs/default.local` and add the lines 
"CVMFS_REPOSITORIES=cvmfs-config.cern.ch", "CVMFS_CLIENT_PROFILE=single" to it
   - Attempt to mount by running `cvmfs_config probe`
 * Without the fix:
   - The mount step fails with a permission denial error
   - AppArmor generates denial logs for fusermount3 denying the mount syscall
 * With the fix: the mount should succeed with no AppArmor logs being generated

[ Where problems could occur ]

Adding a rule to allow mounting to /cvmfs subdirectories loosens
confinement on a profile. However, if a user manually modified the
installed profiles, then the package upgrade would cause conflicts, and
rejection of the incoming changes (either by hand during an interactive
upgrade or automatically during an batch unattended upgrade) would
result in end users not getting the packaged fix.
