    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"
