[PATCH] fix audit_init failure path
This bug was pointed out by Peter Staubach in a recent patch review:
Make audit_init() failure path handle situations where audit_panic()
action is not AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC. Other uses of audit_sock are not
reached unless audit_receive() is properly registered with netlink.
