[PATCH 3.12 023/101] audit: keep inode pinned

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 799b601451b21ebe7af0e6e8f6e2ccd4683c5064 upstream.

Audit rules disappear when an inode they watch is evicted from the cache.
This is likely not what we want.

The guilty commit is "fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core",
which didn't take into account that audit_tree adds watches with a zero
mask.

Adding any mask should fix this.

Fixes: 90b1e7a57880 ("fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core")
