The kernel always returns negative values on error, so zero and anything
positive is valid success. Lost_reset returned a positive value at the
time of reset, including zero that got interpreted as success and
replaced with the packet sequence number "2".
Rename audit_send() to __audit_send() and pass the sequence number back
via a parameter rather than return value.
Have a new stub audit_send() call __audit_send() and mimic the previous
behaviour of audit_send().
There are legacy functions that actually use a sequence number:
audit_request_rules_list_data()
delete_all_rules()
audit_request_signal_info()
src/auditd.c:get_reply()
A number of others don't appear to need it, but expose it in libaudit:
audit_send_user_message()
audit_log_user_comm_message()
audit_log_acct_message()
audit_log_user_avc_message()
audit_log_semanage_message()
audit_log_user_command()
audit_request_status()
audit_set_enabled()
audit_set_failure()
audit_set_rate_limit()
audit_set_backlog_limit()
audit_set_backlog_wait_time()
audit_add_rule_data()
audit_delete_rule_data()
Passes all audit-testsuite tests.
