Subject: [GIT PULL] Audit patches for 4.1

Hi Linus,

Seven audit patches for v4.1, all bug fixes.  The largest, and perhaps most 
significant commit helps resolve some memory pressure issues related to the 
inode cache and audit, there are also a few small commits which help resolve 
some timing issues with the audit log queue, and the rest fall into the always 
popular "code clean-up" category.  In general, nothing really substantial, 
just a nice set of maintenance patches.

Thanks,
-Paul
