------------------------------------------------------
Subject: audit: use rcu for task lookup protection
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Protect the task lookups in audit_receive_msg() with rcu_read_lock()
instead of tasklist_lock and use lock/unlock_sighand to protect against
the exit race.
