[Regression Potential]

The dnsmasq profile change adds permissions to the child profile.
There's really no change of regression involved there.

The aa.py change adds the 'm' permission to the allowed permissions of a
binary on ix transitions. While there is a code change involved, it is a
small change and the resulting profile output involved no risk of
regression.
