Subject: [PATCH RFC] netlabel: remove unused param from audit_log_format()

Commit d3b990b7f327 ("netlabel: fix problems with mapping removal")
added a check to return an error if ret_val != 0, before ret_val is
later used in a log message. Now it will unconditionally print "...
res=0". So don't print res anymore.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dead code")
Fixes: d3b990b7f327 ("netlabel: fix problems with mapping removal")
Signed-off-by: Alex Dewar <alex.dewar90@...il.com>

I wasn't sure whether it was intended that something other than ret_val
be printed in the log, so that's why I'm sending this as an RFC.
