Bug description:
  [apparmor impact]

  This bug generates false positives when using the apparmor regression
  tests on the HWE kernels (utopic and newer), which means the kernel team
  needs to examine test output to ensure that addiitional failures didn't
  occur when testing new kernels.

  [apparmor test case]

  1) install hwe kernel libapparmor-dev libdbus-1-dev attr
  2) apt-get source apparmor
  3) cd apparmor-2.8.95~2430/tests/regression/apparmor/
  4) make USE_SYSTEM=1
  5) sudo bash unix_socket_file.sh

  If the bug has not been addressed, this test script will fail with the
  following messages:

  Error: unix_socket_file failed. Test 'socket file (dgram); confined server / access (w)' was expected to 'pass'. Reason for failure 'FAIL CLIENT - connect: Permission denied
  FAIL - poll timed out'
  Error: unix_socket_file failed. Test 'socket file (dgram); confined client w/ access (rw)' was expected to 'pass'. Reason for failure 'FAIL CLIENT - connect: Permission denied
  FAIL - poll timed out'

  and a return code of 2 (echo $?). If it has been fixed it should return
  silently, with a return code of 0.

  [apparmor regression potential]

  The patch for this bug only affects the test suite for apparmor, which
  is a loosening of the policy used in the specific failing testcases.
  There should be no effect on the apparmor implementation proper from
  this fix.

  [apparmor additional info]

  This testsuite is run as part of the test-apparmor.py test script
  from lp:qa-regression-testing, and used as part of the kernel update
  process, but is useful for ensuring that apparmor is functioning
  properly.

  [Original description]
  I've noticed that apparmor loads /usr/sbin/rsyslogd profile for completely unrelated processes:

  Feb 25 08:36:19 emma kernel: [  134.796218] audit: type=1400 audit(1424842579.429:245): apparmor="DENIED" operation="sendmsg" profile="/usr/sbin/rsyslogd" name="/dev/log" pid=4002 comm="sshd" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0

  I'm not sure how apparmor decides which profile to use for which task,
  but is shouldn't load '/usr/sbin/rsyslogd' profile for sshd/ntpd/etc.
