[PATCH 1/1] audit: Record fanotify access control decisions

The fanotify interface allows user space daemons to make access
 control decisions. Under common criteria requirements, we need to
 optionally record decisions based on policy. This patch adds a bit mask,
 FAN_AUDIT, that a user space daemon can 'or' into the response decision
 which will tell the kernel that it made a decision and record it.

It would be used something like this in user space code:

  response.response = FAN_DENY | FAN_AUDIT;
  write(fd, &response, sizeof(struct fanotify_response));

When the syscall ends, the audit system will record the decision as a
AUDIT_FANOTIFY auxiliary record to denote that the reason this event
occurred is the result of an access control decision from fanotify
rather than DAC or MAC policy.

A sample event looks like this:

type=PATH msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): item=0 name="./evil-ls"
inode=1319561 dev=fc:03 mode=0100755 ouid=1000 ogid=1000 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL
