[PATCH V2] audit: remove arch_f pointer from struct audit_krule

[Richard Guy Briggs]

In the process of trying to track down a potential bug altering the
registered arch for a syscall rule, I propose this simplification of
struct audit_krule that removes an unnecessary member.

The arch_f pointer was added to the struct audit_krule in commit:
e54dc2431d740a79a6bd013babade99d71b1714f ("audit signal recipients")

This is only used on addition and deletion of rules which isn't time
critical and the arch field is the first field if it is present at all,
easily found iterating over the field type.  This isn't worth the
additional complexity and storage.  Delete the field.

Passes audit-testsuite.
