PATCH v2 1/1 Docs: Update LSM/apparmor.rst

Docs: Update LSM/apparmor.rst

After the deprecation of CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY, it is no longer used to enable and configuring AppArmor.
Since kernel 5.0, CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE is not used either. Instead, the CONFIG_LSM parameter manages the order and selection of LSMs.

I had accidentally added an extra '=' before the recipient mail and [email protected] while using git send-email.

Really sorry about this.

Thanks,
