[PATCH 1/1] selinux: simplify avc_xperms_audit_required()

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Thu Aug 22 2024 - 10:10:13 EST


By associative and commutative laws, the result of the two 'audited' is
zero. Take the second 'audited' as an example:
1) audited = requested & avd->auditallow;
2) audited &= ~requested;
==> audited = ~requested & (requested & avd->auditallow);
==> audited = (~requested & requested) & avd->auditallow;
==> audited = 0 & avd->auditallow;
==> audited = 0;

In fact, it is more readable to directly write zero. The value of the
first 'audited' is 0 because AUDIT is not allowed. The second 'audited'
is zero because there is no AUDITALLOW permission.
