[PATCH] audit: Audit proc cmdline value

During an audit event, cache and print the value of the process's
cmdline value (proc/<pid>/cmdline). This is useful in situations
where processes are started via fork'd virtual machines where the
comm field is incorrect. Often times, setting the comm field still
is insufficient as the comm width is not very wide and most
virtual machine "package names" do not fit. Also, during execution,
many threads have thier comm field set as well. By tying it back to
the global cmdline value for the process, audit records will be more
complete in systems with these properties. An example of where this
is useful and applicable is in the realm of Android.
The cached cmdline is tied to the lifecycle of the audit_context
structure and is built on demand.
