[PATCH] audit: remove redundant condition check in kauditd_thread()

[PATCH] audit: remove redundant condition check in kauditd_thread()

[Yunfeng Ye]

Warning is found by the code analysis tool:
  "the condition 'if(ac && rc < 0)' is redundant: ac"

The @ac variable has been checked before. It can't be a null pointer
here, so remove the redundant condition check.

Hello,

Thank you for the patch.  Looking quickly at it, it appears to be correct, unfortunately I'm not in a position to merge non-critical patches, but I expect to merge this next week.

I was able to find some time today to take a closer look and it still
looks good to me so I've merge it into audit/next - thanks!
