Dudu Lu ef78fdc472 apparmor: Fix wrong dentry in RENAME_EXCHANGE uid check
In apparmor_path_rename(), when handling RENAME_EXCHANGE, the
cond_exchange structure is supposed to carry the attributes of the
*new* dentry (since it is used to authorize moving new_dentry to the
old location). However, line 412 reads:

    vfsuid = i_uid_into_vfsuid(idmap, d_backing_inode(old_dentry));

This fetches the uid of old_dentry instead of new_dentry. As a result,
the RENAME_EXCHANGE permission check uses the wrong file owner, which
can allow a rename that should be denied (if old_dentry's owner has
more privileges) or deny one that should be allowed.

Note that cond_exchange.mode on the line above correctly uses
new_dentry. Only the uid lookup is wrong.

Fix by changing old_dentry to new_dentry in the i_uid_into_vfsuid call.
