[SRU][Bionic][PATCH 1/1] apparmor: fix ptrace read check

From: John Johansen <john.johansen at canonical.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890848

The ptrace read check is incorrect resulting in policy that is
broader than it needs to be. Fix the check so that read access
permission can be properly detected when other ptrace flags are
set.

Fixes: b2d09ae449ce ("apparmor: move ptrace checks to using labels")
