[PATCH][next] apparmor: fix error return check with a u32 being less than zero

[Colin King]

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

The check for *seclen being less than zero for an error condtion check
is never true as it is a u32 and hence cannot be less than zero. Fix
this by using an int ret for error return checking and assigning *seclen
to this.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1468514 ("Unsigned comparison against 0")

Fixes: c092921219d2 ("apparmor: add support for mapping secids and using secctxes")
