[PATCH] integrity: check the return value of audit_log_start()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Mon Dec 13 2021 - 22:35:37 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

audit_log_start() returns audit_buffer pointer on success or NULL on
error, so it is better to check the return value of it to prevent
potential memory access error.
