SELinux has a dependency on CONFIG_AUDIT these days because it uses the
audit system to log permission denials (originally just used printk, but
switched to the audit system when it was mainstreamed), but SELinux
doesn't depend on CONFIG_AUDIT for the actual access control checking
and enforcement. SELinux just feeds data to the audit system for such
logging; it doesn't take any inputs from the audit system.
