[Patch] Fix the bug of action "exec /path-to-script" can never be taken

["chuli" <chul@cn.fujitsu.com>]

Hi Mr. Steve,

  I set "space_left_action = exec /script" in /etc/audit/auditd.conf.
It is said that this parameter tells the system what action to take when
the system has detected that it is starting to get low on disk space (The
limitation of disk space size is set by space_left.) in the manual. But I
found the action "exec /script" will never be taken.

  I found an error message "Audit daemon failed to exec null" in
/var/log/messages. The filename "/script" does not be gotten by auditd,
so though the disk space size is less than the value of "space_left",
/script does not be executed.

  It has the same bug with admin_space_left_action, disk_full_action,
disk_error_action.

  Here is my patch for audit-1.7.4. What's your opinion about such 
modification?
