Subject: apparmor: Fix use after free in regexp parser

There are two cases of use-after-free in the simply_tree_base code. It
 worked in the past because there aren't any allocations between the
 free and the use, so it was still around.

With glibc's memory perturbing feature (set _MALLOC_PERTURB to anything),
 the freed memory is poisoned. This causes crashes in e.g. apparmor_parser
 while parsing certain profiles.

This patch addresses it by saving a pointer to the node to free after
 the node is advanced.
