[PATCH 1/4] Fix the bug of the error message for -7 when checking field

Hello Steve, 

When field is AUDIT_EXIT, AUDIT_SUCCESS and so on, the entry,user,task,exclude filter list should be invalid on anything.
So I think using "flags != AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT" is better than "flags == AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY".

The error message for "-7" is not suit in some conditions.
For example,
1, auditctl -a task,always -F perm=r
Error message is "Field perm cannot be checked at syscall entry".

It should be task filter list.
