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.
