[PATCH] apparmor: Remove unused value

From: Chandra Mohan Sundar
Date: Wed Aug 13 2025 - 12:21:55 EST


The value "new" is being assigned to NULL but that statement does not
have effect since "new" is being overwritten in the subsequent fallback case.

Remove the unused value. This issue was reported by coverity static
analyzer.

Fixes: a9eb185be84e9 (apparmor: fix x_table_lookup)
