I have updated the audit portion of the patch to match up with this latest selinux
patch.

The last update to that patch was here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=114056729028852&w=2

I have also reworked the update procedure of the se_rule fields to hopefully be
in line with the requirement of RCU.  Consider this portion of the patch for
*testing only*.  The other portions of the patch seem good to me so far.
