I *think* this is ok, since we re-check the TIF bits in
syscall_trace_exit().

This does mean that we'd now always call audit_syscall_exit(),
regardless of TIF_AUDIT, but there are already cases when we call that
with TIF_AUDIT clear, so I think if that's a problem it's a latent bug.
Likewise for audit_syscall_entry().

It seems we're in the same boat as other architectures there,
regardless.

FWIW, for the entry bits:
