[PATCH v2 1/1] Docs: Update LSM/apparmor.rst

[Siddharth Menon]

Docs: Update LSM/apparmor.rst

After the deprecation of CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY, it is no longer used
to enable and configuring AppArmor.
Since kernel 5.0, `CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE` is not
used either. Instead, the CONFIG_LSM parameter manages the order and
selection of LSMs.

I had accidentally added an extra '=' before the recipient mail
and linux-doc@vger.kernel.org while using git send-email.

Really sorry about this.

Thanks,
