Re: [PATCH ghak107 V1] audit: remove unused actx param from audit_rule_match

The audit_rule_match() struct audit_context *actx parameter is not used by any in-tree consumers (selinux, apparmour, integrity, smack). The audit context is an internal audit structure that should only be accessed by audit accessor functions. It was part of commit 03d37d25e0f9 ("LSM/Audit: Introduce > generic Audit LSM hooks") but appears to have never been used.

Remove it.
