[PATCH] Seccomp audit: Reduce unnecessary log spew

[Parag Warudkar]

Every time I run Chrome from dev channel, which uses seccomp, logs are 
flooded with below repetitive entries -

 2093.889522] audit_printk_skb: 42 callbacks suppressed
[ 2093.889527] type=1701 audit(1347114113.889:62): auid=4294967295 
uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=4294967295 pid=5329 comm="chrome" reason="seccomp" 
sig=0 syscall=2 compat=0 ip=0x7f1a63b45d90 code=0x50000

Reduce the seemingly needless repetitive logging by honoring audit_enabled 
and checking if the signal is worth auditing.
