Richard Guy Briggs b1690fa89e audit: return on memory error to avoid null pointer dereference ...

[ Upstream commit 23138ead27 ]

If there is a memory allocation error when trying to change an audit
kernel feature value, the ignored allocation error will trigger a NULL
pointer dereference oops on subsequent use of that pointer.  Return
instead.

Passes audit-testsuite.
