[PATCH v2] audit,module: restore audit logging in load failure case
From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 15:58:32 EST
The move of the module sanity check to earlier skipped the audit logging
call in the case of failure and to a place where the previously used
context is unavailable.
Add an audit logging call for the module loading failure case and get
the module name when possible.
Link: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-52839
Fixes: 02da2cbab452 ("module: move check_modinfo() early to early_mod_check()")

Changelog:
v2
- use info->name for both audit_log_kern_module() calls and add const
