fix bogus reporting of signals by audit
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...
