[PATCH v28 21/25] audit: support non-syscall auxiliary records

[Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>]

Standalone audit records have the timestamp and serial number generated
on the fly and as such are unique, making them standalone.  This new
function audit_alloc_local() generates a local audit context that will
be used only for a standalone record and its auxiliary record(s).  The
context is discarded immediately after the local associated records are
produced.
