In log_failure, it's not needed at all, but that function disappears
in a subsequent patch in the series that converts over to using the
auditing framework.  For the next use of CONFIG_COMPAT, it is more
important for guarding the compat_sock_fprog struct (which isn't
doubly defined) rather than the is_compat_task.

Thanks!
