Subject: ARM: 7412/1: audit: use only AUDIT_ARCH_ARM regardless of endianness

From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>

commit 2f978366984a418f38fcf44137be1fbc5a89cfd9 upstream.

The machine endianness has no direct correspondence to the syscall ABI,
so use only AUDIT_ARCH_ARM when identifying the ABI to the audit tools
in userspace.
