When unpacking a DFA, aadfaunpack() stores a table in dfa->tables
before attempting to remap a 16-bit table to 32-bit.
However, remapdata16todata32() frees the original table when
allocation of the new table fails. This leaves the corresponding
dfa->tables entry pointing to freed memory. If the unpacking then
fails, dfafree() attempts to free the same table again.
Only publish the table to dfa->tables after any required remapping
has completed successfully, so that dfa->tables never contains a
pointer to a table that has already been freed.
Fixes: 9208c05f9fdf ("apparmor: add support for 2^24 states to the dfa state machine.")
