[RFC PATCH] audit, security: allow LSMs to selectively enable audit collection

Presently, there is no way for LSMs to enable collection of supplemental
audit records such as path and inode information when a permission denial
occurs. Provide a LSM hook to allow LSMs to selectively enable collection
on a per-task basis, even if the audit configuration would otherwise
disable auditing of a task and/or contains no audit filter rules. If the
hook returns a non-zero result, collect all available audit information. If
the hook generates its own audit record, then supplemental audit
information will be emitted at syscall exit.
In SELinux, we implement this hook by returning the result of a permission
check on the process. If the new process2:audit_enable permission is
allowed by the policy, then audit collection will be enabled for that
process. Otherwise, SELinux will defer to the audit configuration.
