[apparmor] [PATCH 3/7] apparmor: Convert from sb_mount to granular mount hooks

Replace AppArmor's monolithic apparmor_sb_mount() with granular
mount hooks.

Key changes:
- mount_bind: uses the pre-resolved struct path from VFS instead of
  re-resolving dev_name via kern_path(), eliminating a TOCTOU
  vulnerability. aa_bind_mount() now takes a struct path instead of
  a string for the source.
- mount_new, mount_remount: receive the original mount(2) flags and
  data parameters for policy matching via match_mnt_flags() and
  AA_MNT_CONT_MATCH data matching.
- mount_reconfigure: handles MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND (mount attribute
  reconfiguration) which was previously handled as a remount.
- mount_move: reuses apparmor_move_mount() which already handles
  pre-resolved paths.
- mount_change_type: propagation type changes.

aa_move_mount_old() is removed since move mounts now go through
security_mount_move() with pre-resolved struct path pointers for
both the old mount(2) and new move_mount(2) APIs.

Code generated with the assistance of Claude, reviewed by human.
