File OpenAFS bug about apparmor

Description

In some cases, apparmor is convinced that a user process is directly accessing the OpenAFS cache, and prior to debathena-apparmor-config 1.2.9, would deny it. apparmor's denial causes OpenAFS to think the fileserver went down, and then it immediately comes back up, but parts of the user's homedirectory still give weird ENOENT/EACCES errors until an fs flushv.

Anders notes:

       OpenAFS should never be accessing /var/cache/openafs with the            
       credentials of a random user process.  However, there have been bugs     
       of that form before, and they tend to break SELinux and AppArmor.  We    
       should try to file it.

So somebody who understands AFS better than me and has free time should look into this and report the bug. This is consistently reproducible on stock Trusty, with login-graphical installed, and the stock upstream apparmor-config (which means uninstall apparmor-config, or use manual-config).

Yeah, so, this is a dupe of #1370.
