For the reasons that I mentioned previously, unless others are willing
to add their Reviewed-by tag not for the audit aspect in particular,
but IMA itself, I'm not comfortable making this change all at once.

Previously I suggested making the existing integrity_audit_msg() a
wrapper for a new function with errno.  Steve said, "We normally do
not like to have fields that swing in and out ...", but said setting
errno to 0 is fine.  The original integrity_audit_msg() function would
call the new function with errno set to 0.
