Merge tag 'audit-pr-20180403' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "We didn't have anything to send for v4.16, but we're back with a
  little more than usual for v4.17.

  Eleven patches in total, most fall into the small fix category, but
  there are three non-trivial changes worth calling out:

   - the audit entry filter is being removed after deprecating it for
     quite a while (years of no one really using it because it turns out
     to be not very practical)

   - created our own version of "__mutex_owner()" because the locking
     folks were upset we were using theirs

   - improved our handling of kernel command line parameters to make
     them more forgiving

   - we fixed auditing of symlink operations

  Everything passes the audit-testsuite and as of a few minutes ago it
  merges well with your tree"

* tag 'audit-pr-20180403' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: add refused symlink to audit_names
  audit: remove path param from link denied function
  audit: link denied should not directly generate PATH record
  audit: make ANOM_LINK obey audit_enabled and audit_dummy_context
  audit: do not panic on invalid boot parameter
  audit: track the owner of the command mutex ourselves
  audit: return on memory error to avoid null pointer dereference
  audit: bail before bug check if audit disabled
  audit: deprecate the AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY filter
  audit: session ID should not set arch quick field pointer
  audit: update bugtracker and source URIs
