[PATCH] [AUDIT] auditfilter.c cleanup/const-ification

(Not sure if this will make it to the linux-audit mailing list or not; I
tried subscribing to it via the web page a couple days ago but haven't heard
back from mailman)
I noticed the gcc 4.X warning:
kernel/auditfilter.c: In function "audit_filter_user"
kernel/auditfilter.c:588: warning: "state" may be used uninitialized in this function
...and thought I'd take a quick look.
The gcc warning isn't correct (since audit_filter_user() only looked at state
if audit_filter_user_rules() returned non-zero, in which case 'state' would
have been initialized) However the code was needlessly complex --
audit_filter_user_rules() carefully populated the "enum audit_state *state"
with various value but it's only caller just cares if it's AUDIT_DISABLED
or not. It's shorter and simpler to just let audit_filter_user_rules()
modify its caller's return value more directly. As an added bonus this
also removes the warning.
While I was looking at auditfilter.c I did some other minor cleanup
* const-ified pointers where possible
* both audit_data_to_entry() and audit_krule_to_data() had an unused
variable called "void *bufp" which I removed
* [minor] I changed some variables from "int" to "unsigned int" if
they can't be negative. Since ->field_count is unsigned I think it's
a little cleaner to use an unsigned type to iterate through it
I'm not actually using the audit subsystem currently but this at least
compiles and boots ok. I believe it should all be safe.
