Subject: [PATCH V10] fixup: audit: implement audit by executable

The Intel build-bot detected a sparse warning with with a patch I posted a
couple of days ago that was accepted in the audit/next tree:

tsk->mm->exe_file requires RCU access.  The warning was reproduceable by adding
"C=1 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__" to the build command, and verified eliminated with
this patch.
