PATCH 1/1 Fix the kernel panic of audit_filter_task when key field is set

When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL. If the key field is set, the result in audit_filter_rules() will be set to 1 and ctx->filterkey will be set to key.
But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.

[PATCH] Fix the kernel panic of audit_filter_task when AUDIT_PERM or AUDIT_FILETYPE field is set

When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL.
If the AUDIT_PERM or AUDIT_FILETYPE field is set, audit_match_perm() or audit_match_filetype() will use ctx->xx. But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.

Sorry, I miss a blank between if and "(".
And I add "unlikely" to check "ctx" in audit_match_perm() and audit_match_filetype(). This is a new patch for it.
