[PATCH 3/4] UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: Fix cap audit_caching preemption disabling

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479102

The auditing code of capabilities, has a simple cache to reduce capability
messages flooding the audit logs.  Checking and updating the cache
disables kernel preemption.  One potential exit path does not properly
put the per cpu var, thus not reenabling preemption.
