audit_log_start() returns audit_buffer pointer on success or NULL on
error, so it is better to check the return value of it to prevent
potential memory access error.

As this is IMA code, it's largely up to Mimi about what she would
prefer, but I think a much simpler patch would be to just return early
if ab == NULL, for example:

  ab = audit_log_start( .... , audit_msgno);
  if (!ab)
    return;

Thanks, Paul.  Neither the linux-integrity mailing list nor I were
Cc'ed on this.  Looks like the IMA & EVM records in MAINTAINERS should
be updated to include the security/integrity directory.

thanks,
