[PATCH 0/6][RFC] audit: standardize and simplify syscall_get_arch()

Each arch that supports audit requires syscall_get_arch() to able to log
and identify architecture-dependent syscall numbers.  The information is used
in at least two different subsystems, so standardize it in the same call across
all arches.

Use the standardized syscall_get_arch() locally to add the arch to the
AUDIT_SECCOMP record to identify which syscall was issued.

Since all the callers of syscall_get_arch() presently pass "current" and none
of the arch-specific syscall_get_arch() implementations use the regs parameter,
call syscall_get_arch() locally where it is needed and drop passing around
arch, current and regs in __audit_syscall_entry() and audit_syscall_entry().

Compiles and runs on i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, manually tested in
an x86_64 VM.  aarch64 will be added soon.

Richard Guy Briggs (6):
  syscall: define syscall_get_arch() for each audit-supported arch
  audit: add arch field to seccomp event log
  audit: __audit_syscall_entry: ignore arch arg and call
    syscall_get_arch() directly
  audit: drop arch from audit_syscall_entry() interface
  audit: drop args from syscall_get_arch() interface
  audit: drop arch from __audit_syscall_entry() interface
