linux-next: manual merge of the audit tree with Linus' tree

Hi Paul,

Today's linux-next merge of the audit tree got a conflict in
kernel/auditsc.c between commit 4a92843601ad ("audit: correctly record
file names with different path name types") and fcf22d8267ad ("audit:
create private file name copies when auditing inodes") from Linus' tree
and commits 997f7ee82a98 ("audit: enable filename recording via
getname_kernel()"), 2b1b63a2b7d3 ("audit: fix filename matching in
__audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()") and 49463ee9d929 ("audit:
replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters") from the
audit tree.

It would have been nice if these new audit tree commits had been based
on v3.19-rc3 instead of v3.16 ... (especially since their Author dates
match their Committer dates).

I fixed it up (basically I used the audit tree versions - based on the
commit comments - see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no
action is required).
