Change audit to register a task watcher function rather than modify
the copy_process() and do_exit() paths directly.
Removes an unlikely() hint from kernel/exit.c:
if (unlikely(tsk->audit_context))
audit_free(tsk);
This use of unlikely() is an artifact of audit_free()'s former invocation from
__put_task_struct() (commit: fa84cb935d4ec601528f5e2f0d5d31e7876a5044).
Clearly in the __put_task_struct() path it would be called much more frequently
than do_exit() and hence the use of unlikely() there was justified. However, in
the new location the hint most likely offers no measurable performance impact.
