It reads okay to me, but I know what I'm intending here :)  I agree it
could be a bit confusing.  Let me try to put my suggestion into some
quick pseudo-code function prototypes to make things a bit more
concrete.

The _audit_contobj_hold() function would become:
   struct audit_contobj *_audit_contobj_hold(struct task_struct *tsk);

The _audit_contobj_get() function would become:
   struct audit_contobj *_audit_contobj_get(struct audit_contobj *cont);

The _audit_contobj_put() function would become:
   void _audit_contobj_put(struct audit_contobj *cont);

Basically swap the _get() and _hold() function names so that the
arguments are the same for both the _get() and _set() functions.  Does
this make more sense?

Sorry, you can disregard.  My mental definition for audit_alloc() is
permanently messed up; I usually double check myself before commenting
on related code, but I must have forgotten here.
