[PATCH] audit: enforce AUDIT_LOCKED for AUDIT_TRIM and AUDIT_MAKE_EQUIV

[Sergio Correia]

AUDIT_ADD_RULE and AUDIT_DEL_RULE correctly check for AUDIT_LOCKED
and return -EPERM, but AUDIT_TRIM and AUDIT_MAKE_EQUIV do not. This
allows a process with CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to modify directory tree
watches and equivalence mappings even when the audit configuration
has been locked, undermining the purpose of the lock.

Add AUDIT_LOCKED checks to both commands.
