The build\nhelper can fail and return NULL or an ERR_PTR, but the result was passed\nto aa_label_is_unconfined_subset() before the existing IS_ERR_OR_NULL()\ncheck.\n\nReuse the existing target-label build failure handling immediately after\nthe build. This preserves the current audit handling while preventing the\nsubset helper from dereferencing an invalid label.",
