[PATCH v33 25/29] Audit: Allow multiple records in an audit_buffer

[Casey Schaufler]

Replace the single skb pointer in an audit_buffer with
a list of skb pointers. Add the audit_stamp information
to the audit_buffer as there's no guarantee that there
will be an audit_context containing the stamp associated
with the event. At audit_log_end() time create auxiliary
records (none are currently defined) as have been added
to the list.
