Interesting.  I thought I had looked at re-ordering them and rejected
that approach due to that information being needed for audit_log_exit(),
but I don't find any such dependency this pass through the code.

I guess the only concern I have then is that if the state is anything
other than AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT it would be an orphan record, but it
would be regardless with the existing code or with my proposed changes.
Perhaps that is a bug to start with, though I'm not sure it is at all
serious, so I'm not concerned about it.

I think re-ordering should be safe and that eliminates the seeming
complexity introduced by the next patch, which is a good thing.
