[PATCH ghak84 v2] audit: purge audit_log_string from the intra-kernel audit API

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Fri Jul 03 2020 - 13:02:19 EST


audit_log_string() was inteded to be an internal audit function and
since there are only two internal uses, remove them. Purge all external
uses of it by restructuring code to use an existing audit_log_format()
or using audit_log_format().

Please see the upstream issue
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/84

Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Passes audit-testsuite.

Changelog:
v2
- restructure to piggyback on existing audit_log_format() calls, checking quoting needs for each.
