It might be good to move the above comment into the
audit_buffer_aux_new() comment header (below) so it does not get
misplaced.

I wonder if it might be better to record the "subj_smack=?" field
before checking @error and potentially calling audit_panic(). In
practice it likely shouldn't matter, I feel better if we at least
record the subject information before we call the wildcard that is
audit_panic().

If we want to be very nit-picky here, "end" is more correct than
"send". First, audit_log_end() doesn't actually send the record, it
just queues the record for the kauditd_thread which then attempts to
send it. Second, there is no guarantee that the record will actually
be sent at this point, although it would be nice if that were true :)

This should probably be moved to patch 25/29 as it has more to do with
the __audit_log_end() introduction than this patch.
