audit: return on memory error to avoid null pointer dereference

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 23138ead270045f1b3e912e667967b6094244999 ]

If there is a memory allocation error when trying to change an audit
kernel feature value, the ignored allocation error will trigger a NULL
pointer dereference oops on subsequent use of that pointer.  Return
instead.

Passes audit-testsuite.
See: https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/76
