Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit
Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore: "Seven audit patches for v4.1, all bug fixes. The largest, and perhaps most significant commit helps resolve some memory pressure issues related to the inode cache and audit, there are also a few small commits which help resolve some timing issues with the audit log queue, and the rest fall into the always popular "code clean-up" category. In general, nothing really substantial, just a nice set of maintenance patches" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: Remove condition which always evaluates to false audit: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file audit: consolidate handling of mm->exe_file audit: code clean up audit: don't reset working wait time accidentally with auditd audit: don't lose set wait time on first successful call to audit_log_start() audit: move the tree pruning to a dedicated thread
