Well, I wondered about that anyways.  audit_context is only meaningful
in CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL, and loginuid and sessionid were already there,
so the whole thing should be inside, but given that CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL
is forced on when CONFIG_AUDIT is set I don't see that it matters.
Perhaps CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL should be ripped out completely and the
code flattenned to the CONFIG_AUDIT case.

I see your point though, moving CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL protections to
within the audit_task_info struct definition makes more sense than this
above.
