    As per LP #1786250, user noted audit failures in system log
    against charon trying to read its own list of file descriptors
    in /proc/<pid>/fd/.

    We are uncertain when/why this started, however it is not
    unreasonable for a process to attempt to read its own fd's,
    so allow by extending the apparmor profile for charon.
