[patch 2/3] audit: EXECVE record: remove bogus newline

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

From: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com>

EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument.  auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're there
nevertheless.  If you're not using auditd, you need to work round them. 
These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when creating record
in kernel.  Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in an audit record.

record before this patch:
"type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n"

record after this patch:
"type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\""
