Bug description:
  This bug surfaced when starting ~50 LXC container with LXD in parallel
  multiple times:

  # Create the containers
  for c in c foo{1..50}; do lxc launch images:ubuntu/xenial $c; done

  # Exectute this loop multiple times until you observe errors.
  for c in c foo{1..50}; do lxc restart $c & done

  After this you can

  ps aux | grep apparmor

  and you should see output similar to:

  apparmor_parser remains stuck even after all LXC/LXD commands have
  exited.

  dmesg output yields lines like:

  [41902.815174] audit: type=1400 audit(1480191089.678:43):
  apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" profile="unconfined" name
  ="lxd-foo30_</var/lib/lxd>" pid=12545 comm="apparmor_parser"

  and cat /proc/12545/stack shows:

  This looks like a potential kernel bug.
