Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] selinux: add tracepoint on denials

The audit data currently captures which process and which target
is responsible for a denial. There is no data on where exactly in the
process that call occurred. Debugging can be made easier by being able to
reconstruct the unified kernel and userland stack traces [1]. Add a
tracepoint on the SELinux denials which can then be used by userland
(i.e. perf).

Although this patch could manually be added by each OS developer to
trouble shoot a denial, adding it to the kernel streamlines the
developers workflow.

It is possible to use perf for monitoring the event:
  # perf record -e avc:selinux_audited -g -a
  ^C
  # perf report -g

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
  tracer: nop
