Fix incorrect ordering of audit events

Tan Le requested to merge fix-audit-event-incorrect-order into master

What does this MR do?

Fix incorrect ordering of audit events.

The audit events should be built and persisted in the same order as when they are emitted in the event queue. This bug only affects audit events recorded for MR approval rule changes (i.e. add/remove approvers and approval groups). Even that, for this particular use case, this bug is not relevant or causes any gap since users always make all these changes together when adding or creating new MR approval rules.

How to test

  1. Login as a user with project maintainer role or higher
  2. Navigate to Project > Settings > General and expand the 'Merge request (MR) approvals' section
  3. Create/Updated a MR approval rules by adding/removing approvers and approval groups
  4. Save the changes
  5. Navigate to Security & Compliance > Audit Events
  6. Observe the audit events recorded for the above actions.
