More than one filesystem was causing hundreds to thousands of null PATH
records to be associated with the *init_module SYSCALL records on a few
modules with corresponding audit syscall rules.

This patchset adds extra information to those PATH records to provide
insight into what is generating them, including a partial pathname,
fstype field, and two new filetypes that indicate the pathname isn't
anchored at the root of the task's root filesystem.

Richard Guy Briggs (3):
  audit: show partial pathname for entries with anonymous parents
  audit: append new fstype field for anonymous PATH records
  audit: add new filetypes CREATE_ANON and PARENT_ANON
