[apparmor] [PATCH] apparmor: return -ENOMEM in unpack_perms_table upon alloc failure

In policy_unpack.c:unpack_perms_table, the perms struct is allocated via
kcalloc, with the position being reset if the allocation fails. However,
the error path results in -EPROTO being retured instead of -ENOMEM. Fix
this to return the correct error code.
