The audit system would not normally record access to that file unless it was 
told to. Do you see a rule that is watching that file? If so, comment it out 
or modify the rule so that it only watches for more unusual accesses like 
accessing it when there's a permission denied something like:

auditctl -a exit,always -F exit=-13 -F perm=wra -F path=/var/run/utmp
