Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of null PATH records to
be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL records on a few
modules when the following rule was in place for startup:
	-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load

In __audit_inode_child, return immedialy upon detecting TRACEFS and DEBUGFS
(and potentially other filesystems identified, via dentry->d_sb->s_magic).
