Quoting Tyler Hicks (tyhicks at canonical.com):
> Fully initialize the aa_perms struct in profile_query_cb() to avoid the
> potential of using an uninitialized struct member's value in a response
> to a query from userspace.
> 
> Detected by CoverityScan CID#1415126 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
> 
> Fixes: 4f3b3f2d79a4 ("apparmor: add profile permission query ability")
> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks at canonical.com>
