apparmor: fix: limit the number of levels of policy namespaces
commit 306039414932c80f8420695a24d4fe10c84ccfb2 upstream.
Currently the number of policy namespaces is not bounded relying on
the user namespace limit. However policy namespaces aren't strictly
tied to user namespaces and it is possible to create them and nest
them arbitrarily deep which can be used to exhaust system resource.
Hard cap policy namespaces to the same depth as user namespaces.
Fixes: c88d4c7b049e8 ("AppArmor: core policy routines")
