Error code is not included in the audit messages logged by
the integrity subsystem.

Define a new function integrity_audit_message() that takes error code
in the "errno" parameter. Add "errno" field in the audit messages logged
by the integrity subsystem and set the value passed in the "errno"
parameter.

process_buffer_measurement() and ima_alloc_key_entry() functions need to
log an audit message for auditing integrity measurement failures.

Add audit message in these two functions. Remove "pr_devel" log message
in process_buffer_measurement().

Sample audit messages:

[    6.303048] audit: type=1804 audit(1592506281.627:2): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel op=measuring_key cause=ENOMEM comm="swapper/0" name=".builtin_trusted_keys" res=0 errno=-12

[    8.019432] audit: type=1804 audit(1592506283.344:10): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 op=measuring_kexec_cmdline cause=hashing_error comm="systemd" name="kexec-cmdline" res=0 errno=-22

Thanks, Lakshmi.  Steve, Paul, because of the code changes, your tags
were dropped.

My only concern is that auditing -ENOMEM will put additional memory
pressure on the system.  I'm not sure if this is a concern and, if so,
how it should be handled.

Do you have any concerns with respect to adding audit messages in low 
memory conditions?

Assuming the system is not completely toast, the allocation failure
could be a very transient issue; I wouldn't worry too much about it.

There was a major clean up of removing ENOMEM error messages through
out the kernel a while ago by Wolfram Sang.  The subject lines
included "don't print error when allocating XXX fails".  As it turns
out, they were being removed because "kmalloc will print enough
information in case of failure."  It had nothing to do with memory
pressure on the system.

Thanks, Paul.  I think we're good.
