landlock: Decouple the per-denial logging decision from CONFIG_AUDIT
Until now, whether a denial is logged was decided inside
landlock_audit_denial(): a per-execution flag check (log_same_exec or
log_new_exec, selected by the credential's domain_exec bitmask),
preceded by a LANDLOCK_LOG_DISABLED early return in
landlock_log_denial() for domains an ancestor fully quieted.

Factor that decision into a single is_denial_logged() helper called once
by landlock_log_denial(), and pass its result to landlock_audit_denial()
as a "logged" boolean.  A following commit passes the same boolean to
the deny tracepoints, so audit and tracing share one decision that stays
correct as new log state is added, and a tracepoints-only build
(CONFIG_AUDIT=n) computes it identically.  Computing the logged verdict
once in the shared helper makes audit and tracing apply identical
filtering, so they cannot report different logged= values for the same
denial as log controls grow.

Move the LANDLOCK_LOG_DISABLED gate out of landlock_log_denial() into
the decision so num_denials counts every denial, including those a
domain quiets.  This was previously masked: the only reader of
num_denials is the audit "domain deallocated" record, emitted only for
domains that reached LANDLOCK_LOG_RECORDED; a fully quieted domain never
records, so its undercount was never observable.  A following commit
adds a free_domain tracepoint that reports num_denials, which needs the
full count.

This is not a functional change for audit: the logged decision and the
audit_enabled gate are preserved, so the emitted records are identical.
