AUDIT: buffer audit msgs directly to skb
Drop the use of a tmp buffer in the audit_buffer, and just buffer directly to the skb. All header data that was temporarily stored in the audit_buffer can now be stored directly in the netlink header in the skb. Resize skb as needed. This eliminates the extra copy (and the audit_log_move function which was responsible for copying). Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
