I'll try (see below).

This tries to deal with a missing security check by adding audit() to
catch accesses.

SUSE ended up pulling this patch for their kernel:

Same as the above.

In general, I'll try to pull in a commit that fixes a warning (or
incorrect information, in this case) shown to the user.

You've also in the past pulled in similar commits (such as 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/24/603 which basically fixed the same
bug).

I *thought* that this fixes a build bug, but I can't see an issue trying
to build a 4.16 powerpc kernel, so I guess we can drop that.

This should not go in. I goofed up.

(I've pulled it in as a prereq to a different patch, only to change my
mind on that one and forgetting this one in).
