It is worth noting that the upcoming apparmor 2.10 release will have
helper functions (aa_query_file_path and aa_query_file_path_len) that
make it easier to query permissions for a file path.

Bug description:
  This bug tracks the work needed to support querying if a label can
  access a file. This is particularly useful with trusted helpers where
  an application requests access to a file and the trusted helper does
  something with it. For example, on Ubuntu when an app wants to play a
  music file, it (eventually) goes through the media-hub service. The
  media-hub service should be able to query if the app's policy has
  access to the file.
