  audit: Fix incorrect audit records for ptrace(PT_SC_REMOTE) syscalls

When auditing a system call executed via ptrace(PT_SC_REMOTE), the kernel
passed the return value of the internal setup logic (error) to
AUDIT_SYSCALL_EXIT() rather than the actual result of the executed system
call (tsr->ts_ret.sr_error).  As a result, committed audit records for
remotely executed system calls that failed incorrectly indicated success.

An attacker able to debug a process could exploit this to produce
misleading audit trails, potentially undermining audit-based IDS.

Ported from the FreeBSD fix for SA-26:45.audit (FreeBSD commit
1763deb84ba9), by Kyle Evans.
