Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit

Pull audit fix from Paul Moore: "One audit patch to resolve a panic/oops when recording filenames in the audit log, see the mail archive link below. The fix isn't as nice as I would like, as it involves an allocate/copy of the filename, but it solves the problem and the overhead should only affect users who have configured audit rules involving file names. We'll revisit this issue with future kernels in an attempt to make this suck less, but in the meantime I think this fix should go into the next release of v3.19-rcX. [ https://marc.info/?t=141986927600001&r=1&w=2 ]" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: create private file name copies when auditing inodes
