The only thing that comes to mind might be to convert the if-return
into a switch statement to make it a bit cleaner and easier to patch
in the future, but that is soooo far removed from any real concern
that I debated even mentioning it.  I only bring it up in case the
"3F" discussion results in a respin, and even then I'm not going to
hold my ACK over something as silly as a if-return vs switch.

For clarity, this is what I was thinking:

void __audit_fanontify(...)
{
  switch (type) {
  case FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_NONE:
    audit_log(...);
    break;
  default:
    audit_log(...);
  }
}
