Subject: [PATCH 5.16 002/203] audit: dont deref the syscall args when checking the openat2 open_how::flags

From: Paul Moore <paul@...l-moore.com>

commit 7a82f89de92aac5a244d3735b2bd162c1147620c upstream.

As reported by Jeff, dereferencing the openat2 syscall argument in
audit_match_perm() to obtain the open_how::flags can result in an
oops/page-fault.  This patch fixes this by using the open_how struct
that we store in the audit_context with audit_openat2_how().

Independent of this patch, Richard Guy Briggs posted a similar patch
to the audit mailing list roughly 40 minutes after this patch was
posted.
