Group the audit parameters for each task into one structure.
In particular, remove the loginuid and sessionid values and the audit
context pointer from the task structure, replacing them with an audit
task information structure to contain them. Use access functions to
access audit values.
Use dynamic allocation of the audit task information structure employing
kmem_cache. Static allocation has the limitation that future audit task
information structure changes would cause a visible change to the rest
of the kernel, whereas dynamic allocation would mostly hide any future
changes.
Passes audit-testsuite.
Changelog:
