[PATCH 06/27] audit: Simply AUDIT_TTY_SET and AUDIT_TTY_GET

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use current instead of looking up the current up the current task by
process identifier.  Netlink requests are processed in trhe context of
the sending task so this is safe.
