[PATCH] audit code

[Roger Luethi <rl@hellgate.ch>]

Two things that struck me as odd when reading parts of audit.c:

- audit_receive_skb calls netlink_ack with positive errnos; AFAICT
  they should be negative, though (netlink(7)).

- audit_receive_skb always returns 0; therefore, the condition
  in audit_receive is always false.
