[PATCH 7/7] evm: Don't return an error in evm_write_xattrs() if audit is not enabled
From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Thu May 20 2021 - 04:58:41 EST
This patch avoids that evm_write_xattrs() returns an error when audit is
not enabled. The ab variable can be NULL and still be passed to the other
audit_log_() functions, as those functions do not include any instruction.
