So after a rather long debugging seance, the problem is a false positive. 
If /var/run/tor do not exist, then it fail to mount it, obviously. And I gues it
doesn't existe because /var/run is on a tmpfs, and I didn't create the proper configuration
to create it on boot.

So yeah, putting apparmor code before namespace code is the proper fix. I am gonna send it
upstream, and then up to you to decide either to backport/adapt, or to just work
around with /proc being rw.
