Subject: [GIT PULL] Audit patches for 4.4

Hi Linus,

Seven audit patches for 4.4, but really only one of any significant value, the 
remainder are trivial cleanups that are described well enough in the patch 
descriptions.  The one significant patch is an attempt to make communication 
between the kernel's audit subsystem and the userspace audit daemon a bit more 
robust by retrying on certain transient error conditions.  All in all, it's a 
pretty small set of patches this time around with just fixes and cleanups, 
please pull for 4.4.

Thanks,
-Paul
