[PATCH 0/2] audit: fix recursive locking deadlock and dangling rule removal

[Ricardo Robaina]

This patch series fixes a recursive locking deadlock in audit_dupe_exe()
code path, as well as, a bug that prevents the deletion of dangling
audit rules.

The first patch fixes the deadlock in audit_dupe_exe() by introducing
the audit_watch_ctx struct to pass the fsnotify event context down the
call chain. This safely bypasses the need for kern_path_parent() during
move events, avoiding a double acquisition of the I_MUTEX_PARENT lock.

The second one, simply removes the d_really_is_negative() check in
audit_alloc_mark() to allow dummy mark allocation, fixing the -ENOENT
failure when deleting dangling rules for unlinked executables.
