[PATCHv2] integrity: check the return value of audit_log_start()

[PATCHv2] integrity: check the return value of audit_log_start()

[xkernel.wang]

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

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