Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: use target task's context in apparmor_getprocattr()

apparmor_getprocattr() incorrectly calls task_ctx(current) instead of
task_ctx(task) when retrieving prev and exec attributes, returning the
caller's labels rather than the target's.

Fix by passing task to task_ctx().

The issue can be reproduced when a process with an onexec transition
(e.g., configured by a container runtime) is inspected via
/proc/<pid>/attr/apparmor/exec. The reader's own value is returned
instead of the target's.
