Subject: [PATCH v2] audit: Make audit_filter_syscall() return void

From: Yang Yang <[email protected]>

No invoker uses the return value of audit_filter_syscall().
So make it return void, and amend the comment of
audit_filter_syscall().

Changes since v1:
- amend the comment of audit_filter_syscall().

This is a simple enough patch so I think merging it during -rc5 should
be okay; merged into audit/next - thanks!
