{PATCH] Audit Filter Performance

[Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com>]

Hi,

While testing the watch performance, I noticed that selinux_task_ctxid() was
creeping into the results more than it should. Investigation showed that the
function call was being called whether it was needed or not. The below patch
fixes this.
