Instead of defining an entirely new method of identifying files, IMA
piggybacks on top of the existing audit rule syntax.  IMA policy rules
"filter" based on this information.

IMA already audits security/integrity related events.  Using the word
"audit" here will make things even more confusing than they currently
are.  Renaming these functions as ima_audit_rule_XXX provides no
benefit.  At that point, IMA might as well call the
security_audit_rule prefixed function names directly.  As a quick fix,
rename them as "ima_filter_rule".

The correct solution would probably be to rename these prefixed
"security_audit_rule" functions as "security_filter_rule", so that
both the audit subsystem and IMA could use them.
