[RFC PATCH v2 1/9] audit: prepare audit_context for use in calling contexts beyond syscalls

WARNING - This is a work in progress and should not be merged
anywhere important. It is almost surely not complete, and while it
probably compiles it likely hasn't been booted and will do terrible
things. You have been warned.
This patch cleans up some of our audit_context handling by
abstracting out the reset and return code fixup handling to dedicated
functions. Not only does this help make things easier to read and
inspect, it allows for easier reuse be future patches. We also
convert the simple audit_context->in_syscall flag into an enum which
can be used to by future patches to indicate a calling context other
than the syscall context.
Thanks to Richard Guy Briggs for review and feedback.
