This patch fixes a deadlock on the dcache lock detected during testing
at IBM by moving the logging of the current executable information
from the SELinux avc_audit function to audit_log_exit (via an
audit_log_task_info helper) for processing upon syscall exit. For
consistency, the patch also removes the logging of other task-related
information from avc_audit, deferring handling to audit_log_exit
instead. This allows simplification of the avc_audit code, allows the
exe information to be obtained more reliably, always includes the comm
information (useful for scripts), and avoids including bogus task
information for checks performed from irq or softirq. Please apply.
