Subject: audit: don't WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->mm) in audit_exe_compare()
From: Paul Moore <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 969d90ec212bae4b45bf9d21d7daa30aa6cf055e upstream.
eBPF can end up calling into the audit code from some odd places, and
some of these places don't have @current set properly so we end up
tripping the `WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->mm)` near the top of
`audit_exe_compare()`. While the basic `!current->mm` check is good,
the `WARN_ON_ONCE()` results in some scary console messages so let's
drop that and just do the regular `!current->mm` check to avoid
problems.
