Subject: [GIT PULL] Audit patches for v5.7

Hi Linus,

We've got two audit patches for the v5.7 merge window with a stellar
14 lines changed between the two patches.  The patch descriptions are
far more lengthy than the patches themselves, which is a very good
thing for patches this size IMHO.  The patches pass our test suites
and a quick summary is below, please merge for v5.7.

- Stop logging inode information when updating an audit file watch.
Since we are not changing the inode, or the fact that we are watching
the associated file, the inode information is just noise that we can
do without.

- Fix a problem where mandatory audit records were missing their
accompanying audit records (e.g. SYSCALL records were missing).  The
missing records often meant that we didn't have the necessary context
to understand what was going on when the event occurred.

Thanks,
-Paul
