apparmor: fix possible NULL pointer dereference
[ Upstream commit 3dd384108d53834002be5630132ad5c3f32166ad ]
profile->parent->dents[AAFS_PROF_DIR] could be NULL only if its parent is made
from __create_missing_ancestors(..) and 'ent->old' is NULL in
aa_replace_profiles(..).
In that case, it must return an error code and the code, -ENOENT represents
its state that the path of its parent is not existed yet.
