[PATCH v5 3/3] fanotify, audit: Allow audit to use the full permission event response

Hello,

Sorry to take so long. Holidays and kernel build problems. However, I have 
built a kernel with these patches. I only have 2 comments. When I use an 
application that expected the old API, meaning it simply does:

        response.fd = metadata->fd;
        response.response = reply;
        close(metadata->fd);
        write(fd, &response, sizeof(struct fanotify_response));

I get access denials. Every time. If the program is using the new API and 
sets FAN_INFO, then it works as expected. I'll do some more testing but I 
think there is something wrong in the compatibility path.

What I'm seeing is:

type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(01/09/2023 18:43:16.306:366) : resp=deny fan_type=1 
fan_info=313300000000000000000000 subj_trust=0 obj_trust=0

Where fan_info was supposed to be 13 decimal. More below...

I don't think it needs to be converted to ascii and then hexencoded. As Paul 
said, probably %X is all we need here.
