Hi Po-Hsu,

The apparmor mount test is failing because while testing mounting, it is
attempting to mount with the option MS_MANDLOCK and bionic's linux-kvm
kernel has CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING disabled, causing the operation
to fail even when apparmor is not involved. Given that upstream seems to
believe the code enabled by CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING is little-used
and buggy, I do not believe that disabling this option in the linux-kvm
kernel is a bug (though it is a difference in behavior with the generic
kernel).

The correct fix here is probably to have the apparmor test use a
different mount option.

Thanks.
