Subject: Please merge two small bug fix patches from linux-next

Hi Linus

Below are two patches that have been in linux-next for ages (via akpm's 
tree). They are prette simple, straight-up, bug fixes. They have been 
submitted to maintainers multiple times over (IIRC at least the past 
year), but for some reason the maintainers seem uninterested in picking 
them up (or even responding to them).
There has been no negative comments at all to them while they have been in 
-next.
I'd really appreciate it if they could get merged.

I've just pulled them out of the current linux-next and applied them on 
top of your tree - that's what is below.

Subject: drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c: fix mem leak in aac_send_raw_srb()

We leak in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c::aac_send_raw_srb() :

We allocate memory:
        ...
                        struct user_sgmap* usg;
                        usg = kmalloc(actual_fibsize - sizeof(struct aac_srb)
                          + sizeof(struct sgmap), GFP_KERNEL);
and then neglect to free it:
        ...
                        for (i = 0; i < usg->count; i++) {
                                u64 addr;
                                void* p;
                                if (usg->sg[i].count >
                                    ((dev->adapter_info.options &
                                     AAC_OPT_NEW_COMM) ?
                                      (dev->scsi_host_ptr->max_sectors << 9) :
                                      65536)) {
                                        rcode = -EINVAL;
                                        goto cleanup;
        ... this 'goto' makes 'usg' go out of scope and leak the memory we
            allocated.
            Other exits properly kfree(usg), it's just here it is neglected.

Subject: audit: always follow va_copy() with va_end()

A call to va_copy() should always be followed by a call to va_end() in the
same function.  In kernel/autit.c::audit_log_vformat() this is not always
done.  This patch makes sure va_end() is always called.
