Both here and "ima: AppArmor satisfies the audit rule requirements",
the subject is AppArmor/LSM, which do refer to the rules as "audit"
rules.  In the "ima: Rename internal audit rule functions" case, the
rule rename is internal to IMA.  Here it makes sense to replace
"audit" with "filter".  Tyler, I've gone ahead and made the change.
