[RFC PATCH ghak21 4/4] audit: add parent of refused symlink to audit_names

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Wed Feb 14 2018 - 11:23:06 EST


Audit link denied events for symlinks were missing the parent PATH
record. Add it. Since the full pathname may not be available,
reconstruct it from the path in the nameidata supplied.
