profile->disconnected was storing an invalid reference to the
disconnected path. Fix it by duplicating the string using
aa_unpack_strdup and freeing accordingly.

This is going to need the Fixes tag

Fixes: 72c8a768641d ("apparmor: allow profiles to provide info to disconnected 
paths")

the patch certainly addresses the issue, and I can add the Fixes tag, but unless
there is something I am missing I think we should avoid the intermediate 
variable
as noted below

is there any reason you added the intermediate step of unpacking to 
&disconnected instead of just directly to the value as before?
