[PATCH V2 2/2] audit: log failed attempts to change audit_pid configuration
Failed attempts to change the audit_pid configuration are not presently
logged. One case is an attempt to starve an old auditd by starting up a
new auditd when the old one is still alive and active. The other case
is an attempt to orphan a new auditd when an old auditd shuts down.
Log both as AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE messages with failure result.
