Replace audit syscall class magic numbers with macros.

This required putting the macros into new header file
include/linux/auditscm.h since the syscall macros were included for both 64
bit and 32 bit in any compat code, causing redefinition warnings.

The ifndef/define didn't protect against redeclaration?  Huh.  Maybe
I'm not thinking about this correctly, or the arch specific code is
doing something wonky ...

Regardless, assuming that it is necessary, I would prefer if we called
it auditsc.h instead of auditscm.h; the latter makes me think of
sockets and not syscalls.

The "m" was for "macros", since there are auditsc bits in audit.h as
well, but I have no significant objection.

Yes, I figured as much, but my comment about it looking like a socket
"thing" still stands.  I'm open to other ideas if you don't like
auditsc.h, I just don't like auditscm.h.

I had a chat with Arnd about it in IRC upstream and started digging
deeper and it got quite messy.  As seen from the cover letter, audit.h
pulled in a chain of things which weren't entirely unreasonable given it
was compiling compat support in with native support by default.  I
suppose I could have defined _ASM_X86_UNISTD_64_H to prevent it from
being added, but that would be ugly on a generated file, have caused a
failure elsewhere and would need to be done for each compat file.  I
thought of defining CONFIG_X86_32 in arch/x86/ia32/audit.c but that
would cause other problems.  This was the cleanest solution.  Otherwise
I leave them as magic numbers like in V1.
