landlock: Optimize stack usage when !CONFIG_AUDIT
Until now, each landlock_request struct were allocated on the stack, even
if not really used, because is_access_to_paths_allowed() unconditionally
modified the passed references. Even if the changed landlock_request
variables are not used, the compiler is not smart enough to detect this
case.
To avoid this issue, explicitly disable the related code when
CONFIG_AUDIT is not set, which enables elision of log_request_parent*
and associated caller's stack variables thanks to dead code elimination.
This makes it possible to reduce the stack frame by 32 bytes for the
path_link and path_rename hooks, and by 20 bytes for most other
filesystem hooks.
Here is a summary of scripts/stackdelta before and after this change
when CONFIG_AUDIT is disabled:
current_check_refer_path 560 320 -240
current_check_access_path 328 184 -144
hook_file_open 328 184 -144
is_access_to_paths_allowed 376 360 -16
Also, add extra pointer checks to be more future-proof.
