audit: Initialize lsmctx to avoid memory allocation error
When audit is enabled in a kernel build, and there are no LSMs active that support LSM labeling, it is possible that local variable lsmctx in the AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO handler in audit_receive_msg() could be used before it is properly initialize. Then kmalloc() will try to allocate a large amount of memory with the uninitialized length. This patch corrects this problem by initializing the lsmctx to a safe value when it is declared, which avoid errors like: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 443 at mm/page_alloc.c:4727 __alloc_pages_noprof ... ra: 9000000003059644 ___kmalloc_large_node+0x84/0x1e0 ERA: 900000000304d588 __alloc_pages_noprof+0x4c8/0x1040 CRMD: 000000b0 (PLV0 -IE -DA +PG DACF=CC DACM=CC -WE) PRMD: 00000004 (PPLV0 +PIE -PWE) EUEN: 00000007 (+FPE +SXE +ASXE -BTE) ECFG: 00071c1d (LIE=0,2-4,10-12 VS=7) ESTAT: 000c0000 [BRK] (IS= ECode=12 EsubCode=0) PRID: 0014c010 (Loongson-64bit, Loongson-3A5000) CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 443 Comm: auditd Not tainted 6.13.0-rc1+ #1899 ...
