[ Upstream commit 173743dd99a49c956b124a74c8aacb0384739a4c ]
Prior to this patch we enabled audit in audit_init(), which is too late for PID 1 as the standard initcalls are run after the PID 1 task is forked. This means that we never allocate an audit_context (see audit_alloc()) for PID 1 and therefore miss a lot of audit events generated by PID 1.
This patch enables audit as early as possible to help ensure that when PID 1 is forked it can allocate an audit_context if required.
