Tony Jones f562988350 audit: acquire creds selectively to reduce atomic op overhead 
Commit c69e8d9c01db ("CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to
release a task's own creds") added calls to get_task_cred and put_cred in
audit_filter_rules.  Profiling with a large number of audit rules active
on the exit chain shows that we are spending upto 48% in this routine for
syscall intensive tests, most of which is in the atomic ops.

1. The code should be accessing tsk->cred rather than tsk->real_cred.
2. Since tsk is current (or tsk is being created by copy_process) access to
tsk->cred without rcu read lock is possible.  At the request of the audit
maintainer, a new flag has been added to audit_filter_rules in order to make
this explicit and guide future code.
