Was this patch sent to stable? The audit code tries to handle the old way and
the new way:
https://fedorahosted.org/audit/browser/trunk/tools/aulast/aulast.c#L175
But I thought the patch went to stable to prevent breaking user space. This is
only one issue. I am seeing duplicate and missing events between systemd, gdm,
and lightdm.

That theory can be tested by using:
ausearch --start this-week --debug > /dev/null
Anything that gets tossed out will be reported to stderr.
