[ Upstream commit c3f3ea8af44d0c5fba79fe8b198087342d0c7e04 ]
Since audit_proctitle is generated at syscall exit time, its value is used immediately and cached for the next syscall. Since this is the case, then only clear it at task exit time. Otherwise, there is no point in caching the value OR bearing the overhead of regenerating it.
