[PATCH ghak21 V2 0/4] audit: address ANOM_LINK excess records

[Richard Guy Briggs]

Audit link denied events were being unexpectedly produced in a disjoint
way when audit was disabled, and when they were expected, there were
duplicate PATH records.  This patchset addresses both issues for
symlinks and hardlinks.

This was introduced with
	commit b24a30a7305418ff138ff51776fc555ec57c011a
	("audit: fix event coverage of AUDIT_ANOM_LINK")
	commit a51d9eaa41866ab6b4b6ecad7b621f8b66ece0dc
	("fs: add link restriction audit reporting")

Here are the resulting events:

  audit: make ANOM_LINK obey audit_enabled and audit_dummy_context
  audit: link denied should not directly generate PATH record
  audit: add refused symlink to audit_names
  audit: add parent of refused symlink to audit_names
