The success and return_code are needed by the filters. Move

The pid member of struct audit_context is never used. Remove it.
The audit_reset_context() comment about unconditionally resetting
"ctx->state" should read "ctx->context".
The proctitle is intentionally stored between syscalls. Only free it in
audit_free_context().
Be explicit in checking the struct audit_context "context" member enum
value rather than assuming the order of context enum values.

[NOTE: dropped the stable kernel alias from my reply]
A couple of things:
* I know you like to CC a lot of people on your patches Richard, but
just a heads-up that you are likely to get a nastygram back from Greg
about CC'ing the stable kernel alias directly. It's probably worth
re-reading the Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst docs if
you haven't done so in a while, it's a quick read and I do it myself
every few months.
* I generally ask that people *not* directly add the 'Cc: stable@...`
tag to patches they send to the list, I prefer to add/remove those as
needed. It's not a hard rule, just something I prefer (and don't
respin patches *only* to remove the tag, but keep this in mind for
future submissions/respins). If there is ever any concern about the
stable tag I bring that up for discussion on-list, although that has
only ever happened once (twice?) that I can recall; it's usually
pretty obvious.
* Despite what I said about the stable tagging, please continue to add
the 'Fixes: ...' tags for serious bugs, those are good and welcome.
* The audit_return_fixup() is definitely -rc/stable material, which
means it should be split into its own patch.
* The proctitle free change *might* be stable worthy, but I'd like to
hear some more justification of this from you either in a reply on
this thread or in a commit description. Regardless, just like the
return fix, this should be in a separate patch.
* The enum comparison should be its own patch, with an appropriate
'Fixes:' tag in case the -stable folks want to merge it, but as we
haven't seen any problems with it (and they aren't likely) I wouldn't
tag this for -stable.
* I would suggest the audit_context::pid removal and the comment fix
be separate patches as well. I would also suggest omitting a 'Fixes:'
tag here as these are far from critical, and things with a fixes tag
tend to get pulled into -stable kernels which I believe would be a
mistake here.
