[GIT PULL] Audit patches for 4.6

Hi Linus,

A small set of patches for audit this time; just three in total and one is a 
spelling fix.  The two patches with actual content are designed to help 
prevent new instances of auditd from displacing an existing, functioning 
auditd and to generate a log of the attempt.  Not to worry, dead/stuck auditd 
instances can still be replaced by a new instance without problem.

Nothing controversial, and everything passes our regression suite; please pull 
for Linux 4.6.

Thanks,
-Paul
