[PATCH] apparmor: fix unsigned len comparison with less than zero

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

The sanity check in macro update_for_len checks to see if len
is less than zero, however, len is a size_t so it can never be
less than zero, so this sanity check is a no-op.  Fix this by
making len a ssize_t so the comparison will work and add ulen
that is a size_t copy of len so that the min() macro won't
throw warnings about comparing different types.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Macro compares unsigned to 0")
Fixes: f1bd904175e8 ("apparmor: add the base fns() for domain labels")
