The only change for now is separating the IMA policy rules from the
IMA-audit messages.

Richard, when the containerid is appended to the IMA-audit messages,
would we make the audit type name change then?

Richard, if we separate the ima_parse_rules() audit messages, changing
the audit rule number now, without the call to audit_log_task_info(),
would adding the call later be breaking userspace?
