[apparmor] [PATCH 2/2] apparmor: Use AA_SFS_FILE_BOOLEAN_INTPRINT for userns and io_uring sysctls

These two sysctls used to be INTPTRs, before being changed to BOOLEANs.
Now that their values are hardcoded, switch to the new BOOLEAN_INTPRINT
type to preserve backwards compatibility upon reads of the values.

Before this patchset:
$ cat /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/features/policy/unconfined_restrictions/userns
yes

After this patchset (matching the old behavior):
$ cat /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/features/policy/unconfined_restrictions/userns
1
