[GIT PULL] Audit patches for v5.15

From: Paul Moore
Date: Mon Aug 30 2021 - 12:47:11 EST


Hi Linus,

Two patches in the audit pull request for v5.15; one is trivial
("header protection") but the second is a real patch that fixes a
refcounting problem. The refcount fix normally would have been sent
up during the -rcX cycle, but since we merged it less than a week
before v5.14 proper I felt it was better to wait for the merge window
to open; the patch is marked with the usual -stable markings.

Both patches pass our tests and merge cleanly against your tree from
earlier this morning, please merge for v5.15.

Thanks,
-Paul
