Hi everybody,

A series of 9 patches to let Audit be LSM netural. This is done 
for proper future audit<->SMACK integration which will also be
useful for any future LSM.

Basically, patches add below new LSM hooks:

1- secid extraction:
inode_getsecid(inode, secid)
ipc_getsecid(ipcp, secid)

2- LSM-specific Audit rules manipulation:
audit_rule_init(field, op, rulestr, lsmrule)
audit_rule_known(krule)
audit_rule_match(secid, field, op, rule, actx)
audit_rule_free(rule)

and remove ,now redundant, equivalent SELinux exported interfaces.

Initial work and idea by: Casey Schaufler <casey at schaufler-ca.com>
Thanks to Paul Moore <paul.moore at hp.com> for his deep review of first
version.
