Subject: audit: correct AUDIT_GET_FEATURE return message type

From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9ef91514774a140e468f99d73d7593521e6d25dc upstream.

When an AUDIT_GET_FEATURE message is sent from userspace to the kernel, it
should reply with a message tagged as an AUDIT_GET_FEATURE type with a struct
audit_feature.  The current reply is a message tagged as an AUDIT_GET
type with a struct audit_feature.

This appears to have been a cut-and-paste-eo in commit b0fed40.
