selinux: don't pass in NULL avd to avc_has_perm_noaudit

Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to
avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy
entry for that case and just generally test it.

Don't do it.  The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this
helper function is incredibly hot.  So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit()
do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case.

This also avoids some duplicated stack space.
