audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit.
audit rule additions containing "-F auid!=4294967295" were failing with EINVAL because of a regression caused by e1760bd5. Apparently some userland audit rule sets want to know if loginuid uid has been set and are using a test for auid != 4294967295 to determine that. In practice that is a horrible way to ask if a value has been set, because it relies on subtle implementation details and will break every time the uid implementation in the kernel changes. So add a clean way to test if the audit loginuid has been set, and silently convert the old idiom to the cleaner and more comprehensible new idiom.
