lsm_audit,selinux: pass IB device name by reference
While trying to address a Coverity warning that the dev_name string might end up unterminated when strcpy'ing it in selinux_ib_endport_manage_subnet(), I realized that it is possible (and simpler) to just pass the dev_name pointer directly, rather than copying the string to a buffer. The ibendport variable goes out of scope at the end of the function anyway, so the lifetime of the dev_name pointer will never be shorter than that of ibendport, thus we can safely just pass the dev_name pointer and be done with it.
