Per discussion above:
 - Closing the kernel tasks
 - Raising priority on apparmor tasks to Critical (to match what kernel had)
 - Assigning to jjohansen as the AppArmor maintainer

As we care about xenial, bionic and cosmic, we need point releases (or cherry-pick) for:
 - AppArmor 2.10 (2.10.95 in xenial)
 - AppArmor 2.12 (2.12 in bionic and cosmic)

John: Any ETA for those two point releases or pointer to a commit which
we could SRU on its own?

For now our focus is obviously on getting this resolved in Ubuntu as
soon as possible, since it's breaking a number of systemd services that
are now (18.04) shipping with more confinement than in the past. The
same issue is also currently preventing us from starting newer Fedora
and Arch containers on Ubuntu.

Our standard response so far has been to tell users to turn off AppArmor
for those containers, but it's obviously not an answer we like to give
(I'm sure you'll agree).

Bug description:
  Hey,

  Newer systemd makes use of locks placed on AF_UNIX sockets created
  with the socketpair() syscall to synchronize various bits and pieces
  when isolating services. On kernels prior to 4.18 that do not have
  backported the AppArmor socket mediation patchset this will cause the
  locks to be denied with EACCESS. This causes systemd to be broken in
  LXC and LXD containers that do not run unconfined which is a pretty
  big deal. We have seen various bug reports related to this. See for
  example [1] and [2].

  If feasible it would be excellent if we could backport the socket
  mediation patchset to all LTS kernels. Afaict, this should be 4.4 and
  4.15. This will unbreak a whole range of use-cases.

  The socket mediation patchset is available here:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=80a17a5f501ea048d86f81d629c94062b76610d4
