The fan_info, subj_trust, and obj_trust constant values used here are
awfully magic-numbery and not the usual sentinel values one might
expect for a "none" operation, e.g. zeros/INT_MAX/etc. I believe a
comment here explaining the values would be a good idea.

It looks like the kernel's printf format string parsing supports %X so
why not just use that for now, we can always complicate it later if
needed.  It would probably also remove the need for the @ab, @numbuf,
and @ctx variables.  For example:

audit_log(audit_context(), GFP_KERNEL, AUDIT_FANOTIFY,
  "resp=%u fan_type=%u fan_info=%X subj_trust=%u obj_trust=%u",
  response, friar->hdr.type, friar->rule_number,
  friar->subj_trust, friar->obj_trust);

Am I missing something?
