Note: When we open up a SRU for ntp apparmor we should include the minot
(bot on its own not SRu worthy) fix of bug 1741227

** Description changed:

- On start/restart nto has an error in apparmor due to the locking it
- tries to avoid issues running concurrently with ntpdate.
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Apparmor denies access to lock it shares with ntpdate to ensure no 
+    issues due to concurrent access
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  1. get a container of target release
+  2. install ntp
+     apt install ntp
+  3. watch dmesg on container-host
+     dmesg -w 
+  4. restart ntp in container
+     systemctl restart ntp
+  => see (or no more after fix) apparmor denie:
+     apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_inherit" profile="/usr/sbin/ntpd" 
name="/run/lock/ntpdate" pid=30113 comm="ntpd" requested_mask="w" 
denied_mask="w"
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * we are only slightly opening up the apparmor profile, but none of the 
+    changes poses a security risk so regression potential on it's own 
+    should be close to zero.
+ 
+  * There is a potential issue if the locking (that now can succeed) would 
+    e.g. no more be freed up or the action behind the locking would cause 
+    issues.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * n/a
+ 
+ 
+ On start/restart nto has an error in apparmor due to the locking it tries to 
avoid issues running concurrently with ntpdate.
  
  That looks like:
  apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_inherit" profile="/usr/sbin/ntpd" 
name="/run/lock/ntpdate" pid=30113 comm="ntpd" requested_mask="w" 
denied_mask="w"
  
  The rule we need is:
  /run/lock/ntpdate wk,
