Subject: [PATCH 3.17 56/73] audit: use supplied gfp_mask from audit_buffer in kauditd_send_multicast_skb

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@...hat.com>

commit 54dc77d974a50147d6639dac6f59cb2c29207161 upstream.

Eric Paris explains: Since kauditd_send_multicast_skb() gets called in
audit_log_end(), which can come from any context (aka even a sleeping context)
GFP_KERNEL can't be used.  Since the audit_buffer knows what context it should
use, pass that down and use that.

See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/16/542
