Should audit_seccomp check audit_enabled?

I would argue that, if auditing is off, audit_seccomp shouldn't do
anything.  After all, unlike e.g. selinux, seccomp is not a systemwide
policy, and seccomp signals might be ordinary behavior that's internal
to the seccomp-using application.  IOW, for people with audit compiled
in and subscribed by journald but switched off, I think that the
records shouldn't be emitted.

If you agree, I can send the two-line patch.
