[PATCH] apparmor: fix odd_ptr_err.cocci warnings (fwd)

[Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr>]

Hello,

The change suggested by Coccinelle is not correct, but the original code
is not correct either because the argument to PTR_ERR should be a pointer,
not an integer.

security/apparmor/audit.c:199:5-11: inconsistent IS_ERR and PTR_ERR on line 202.

 PTR_ERR should access the value just tested by IS_ERR

Semantic patch information:
 There can be false positives in the patch case, where it is the call to
 IS_ERR that is wrong.
