Subject: [PATCH 4.14 01/44] integrity: check the return value of audit_log_start()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

commit 83230351c523b04ff8a029a4bdf97d881ecb96fc upstream.

audit_log_start() returns audit_buffer pointer on success or NULL on
error, so it is better to check the return value of it.

Fixes: 3323eec921ef ("integrity: IMA as an integrity service provider")
