[PATCH] audit_panic() renamed to audit_handle_failure()

[Dustin Kirkland]

It has become apparent that the name of the function currently labeled
"audit_panic" might mislead some developers.

This is due to the operation of the function, which may or may not
necessarily panic the kernel.  A look at the function shows that there
are currently three different paths the function can take, only one of
which will cause a kernel panic:

        static void audit_panic(const char *message)
        {
                switch (audit_failure)
                {
                case AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT:
                        break;
                case AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK:
                        printk(KERN_ERR "audit: %s\n", message);
                        break;
                case AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC:
                        panic("audit: %s\n", message);
                        break;
                }
        }


The following simple patch renames the function "audit_panic" to
"audit_handle_failure" and updates all references to the function.
