[PATCH] apparmor: fix bind mounts aborting with -ENOMEM

With commit df323337e507 (apparmor: Use a memory pool instead per-CPU
caches, 2019-05-03), AppArmor code was converted to use memory pools. In
that conversion, a bug snuck into the code that polices bind mounts that
causes all bind mounts to fail with -ENOMEM, as we erroneously error out
if `aa_get_buffer` returns a pointer instead of erroring out when it
does _not_ return a valid pointer.

Fix the issue by correctly checking for valid pointers returned by
`aa_get_buffer` to fix bind mounts with AppArmor.

I've fixed the issue on top of v5.5-rc1, where I in fact found
the issue.
