Subject: [GIT PULL] Audit patches for v4.12

Hi Linus,

Fourteen audit patches for v4.12 that span the full range of fixes,
new features, and internal cleanups.  We have a patches to move to
64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from atomic_t to refcount_t,
track PIDs using the pid struct instead of pid_t, convert our own
private audit buffer cache to a standard kmem_cache, log kernel module
names when they are unloaded, and normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make
the userspace folks happier.  From a fixes perspective, the most
important is likely the auditd connection tracking RCU fix; it was a
rather brain dead bug that I'll take the blame for, but thankfully it
didn't seem to affect many people (only one report).  I think the
patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty good job of
explaining the details and why the changes are important so I'll point
you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if you have any
questions you know where to find us.

We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that
always makes me happy :)

Please merge for v4.12.

-Paul
