When the proxy isn't replaced and the profile is removed, the proxy
is being leaked resulting in a kmemleak check message of

unreferenced object 0xffff888077a3a490 (size 16):
  comm "apparmor_parser", pid 128041, jiffies 4322684109 (age 1097.028s)
  hex dump (first 16 bytes):
    03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b0 92 fd 4b 81 88 ff ff  ...........K....

Make sure to cleanup the profile's embedded label which will result
on the proxy being properly freed.
