audit_log_start() may return NULL in below cases:
  - when audit is not initialized.
  - when audit backlog limit exceeds.

After the call to audit_log_start() is made and then possible NULL audit
buffer argument is passed to audit_log_*() functions, audit_log_*()
functions return immediately in case of a NULL audit buffer argument.

It is not necessary for audit_log_*() functions to be called with
NULL audit buffer argument, so return early when audit_log_start()
returns NULL.
