Merge tag 'audit-pr-20191126' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "Audit is back for v5.5, albeit with only two patches:

   - Allow for the auditing of suspicious O_CREAT usage via the new
     AUDIT_ANOM_CREAT record.

   - Remove a redundant if-conditional check found during code analysis.
     It's a minor change, but when the pull request is only two patches
     long, you need filler in the pull request email"

[ Heh on the pull request filler. I wish more people tried to write
  better pull request messages, even if maybe it's not worth it for the
  trivial cases ;^)   - Linus ]
