Prior to this patch audit_context was available regardless of
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL, after this patch the corresponding audit_context
is only available when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is defined.

It seems like we would need either init_struct_audit or
audit_task_init(), but not both, yes?

This is somewhat related to the CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL comment above, but
since the audit_task_info contains generic audit state (not just
syscall related state), it seems like this, and the audit_task_info
accessors/helpers, should live in kernel/audit.c.
There are probably a few other things that should move to
kernel/audit.c too, e.g. audit_alloc(). Have you verified that this
builds/runs correctly on architectures that define CONFIG_AUDIT but
not CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL?

I don't view this as necessary for initial acceptance, and
synchronization/locking might render this undesirable, but it would be
curious to see if we could do something clever with refcnts and
copy-on-write to minimize the number of kmem_cache objects in use in
the !audit_ever_enabled (and possibly the AUDIT_DISABLED) case.

It's already NULL, isn't it?
