[PATCH] apparmor: fix off-by-one comparison on MAXMAPPED_SIG

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

There is a an off-by-one comparision on sig against MAXMAPPED_SIG
that can lead to a read outside the sig_map array if sig
is MAXMAPPED_SIG. Fix this.

Detected with cppcheck:
"Either the condition 'sig<=35' is redundant or the array 'sig_map[35]'
is accessed at index 35, which is out of bounds."

Fixes: c6bf1adaecaa ("apparmor: add the ability to mediate signals")
