Subject: [GIT PULL] Audit fixes for v5.6 (#1)

Hi Linus,

Two audit patches to fix problems found by syzbot, please merge for
the next v5.6-rcX release.

* Moving audit filter structure fields into a union caused some
problems in the code which populates that filter structure.  We keep
the union (that idea is a good one), but we are fixing the code so
that it doesn't needlessly set fields in the union and mess up the
error handling.

* The audit_receive_msg() function wasn't validating user input as
well as it should in all cases, we add the necessary checks.

Thanks,
-Paul
