[PATCH v1 2/2] audit: record AUDIT_ANOM_* events regardless of presence of rules

[Richard Guy Briggs]

When no audit rules are in place, AUDIT_ANOM_{LINK,CREAT} events
reported in audit_log_path_denied() are unconditionally dropped due to
an explicit check for the existence of any audit rules.  Given this is a
report of a security violation, allow it to be recorded regardless of
the existence of any audit rules.

To test,
	mkdir -p /root/tmp
	chmod 1777 /root/tmp
	touch /root/tmp/test.txt
	useradd test
	chown test /root/tmp/test.txt
	{echo C0644 12 test.txt; printf 'hello\ntest1\n'; printf \\000;} | \
		scp -t /root/tmp
Check with
	ausearch -m ANOM_CREAT -ts recent
