audit: Syscall rules are not applied to existing processes on non-x86

Browse Source 
commit cdee3904b4 upstream.

Commit b05d8447e7 (audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce
burden on archs) changed audit_syscall_entry to check for a dummy
context before calling __audit_syscall_entry. Unfortunately the dummy
context state is maintained in __audit_syscall_entry so once set it
never gets cleared, even if the audit rules change.

As a result, if there are no auditing rules when a process starts
then it will never be subject to any rules added later. x86 doesn't
see this because it has an assembly fast path that calls directly into
__audit_syscall_entry.

I noticed this issue when working on audit performance optimisations.
I wrote a set of simple test cases available at:

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/audit_tests.tar.gz

02_new_rule.py fails without the patch and passes with it. The
test case clears all rules, starts a process, adds a rule then
verifies the process produces a syscall audit record.
