selinux: return early for possible NULL audit buffers 

audit_log_start() may return NULL in below cases:

  - when audit is not initialized.
  - when audit backlog limit exceeds.

After the call to audit_log_start() is made and then possible NULL audit
buffer argument is passed to audit_log_*() functions,
audit_log_*() functions return immediately in case of a NULL audit buffer
argument.

But it is optimal to return early when audit_log_start() returns NULL,
because it is not necessary for audit_log_*() functions to be called with
NULL audit buffer argument.

So add exception handling for possible NULL audit buffers where
return value can be handled from callers.
