Alright, if current has no context, then match_tree_refs() could test
for a NULL context and return since there are no trees to check.  Having
said that, there are cases where audit_log_start() is deliberately
handed a NULL context which should be honoured.  It appears we don't
have a choice but to pass in the context.

That is starting to work with context.  The recent FEATURE_CHANGE patch
to connect records of the same event uses current->audit_context (now
audit_context()) from audit_log_feature_change() called from
audit_set_feature() called from audit_receive_msg().

There is also a work in progress to convert all the CONFIG_CHANGE
records over.  I'm just trying to track down all the instances.

So since kernel/audit.h is included in all kernel/audit*.c files, having
the prototype in there from any kernel/audit*.c file should make the
function available to all functions in kernel/audit*.c files.

Some of the filtering has already been refactored and merged.  More
wouldn't hurt.
