Hi Linus,

Two small audit patches for the Linux v6.9 merge window:

- Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()

The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when possible
and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's use it.

- Remove an unnecessary assignment in audit_dupe_lsm_field()

A return value variable was assigned a value in its declaration, but
the declaration value is overwritten before the return value variable
is ever referenced; drop the assignment at declaration time.

Please merge when you have the chance,
-Paul
