4.1.1.4. Ensure audit_backlog_limit is sufficient is not set

Bug Description

The audit says that:
 grep "^\s*linux" /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep -v "audit_backlog_limit="

should return nothing, however on the system it returns some entries.
Also in the code it's not setting this parameter at all.

Why is it not set? Is it not required?

apparently that test got added for the 2.0 version of the CIS Benchmark, released in 01-03-2020.

As the comment above correctly states, rule 4.1.1.4 is not present in the 1.0.0 version of the benchmark (which the 18.04 hardening scripts are based upon). So marking this issue as invalid.
