DESCRIPTION
Returns audit_buffer pointer on success or NULL on error.
Obtain an audit buffer. This routine does locking to obtain the audit buffer, but then no locking is required for calls to
audit_log_*format. If the task (ctx) is a task that is currently in a syscall, then the syscall is marked as auditable and an audit record
will be written at syscall exit. If there is no associated task, then task context (ctx) should be NULL.
