++lock_dep reports a false 'possible irq lock inversion dependency detected'
++when the profile lock is taken in aa_release.  This is due to that the
++task_lock is often taken inside the profile lock but other kernel code

++occur because apparmor does not take the task_lock in hard_irq or soft_irq
++context.
