[GIT PULL] Audit patches for 4.6

From: Paul Moore
Date: Thu Mar 17 2016 - 16:14:36 EST


Hi Linus,

A small set of patches for audit this time; just three in total and one is a
spelling fix. The two patches with actual content are designed to help
prevent new instances of auditd from displacing an existing, functioning
auditd and to generate a log of the attempt. Not to worry, dead/stuck auditd
instances can still be replaced by a new instance without problem.

Nothing controversial, and everything passes our regression suite; please pull
for Linux 4.6.

Thanks,
-Paul
