[GIT PULL] Audit fixes for 3.19 #2

Hi Linus,

One audit patch to resolve a panic/oops when recording filenames in the audit 
log, see the mail archive link below.  The fix isn't as nice as I would like, 
as it involves an allocate/copy of the filename, but it solves the problem and 
the overhead should only affect users who have configured audit rules 
involving file names.  We'll revisit this issue with future kernels in an 
attempt to make this suck less, but in the meantime I think this fix should go 
into the next release of v3.19-rcX.

Thanks,
