[Paul Moore]

Linus,

A small set of audit changes for v6.19, the summary is below:

- Consolidate the loops in __audit_inode_child() to improve performance

  When logging a child inode in __audit_inode_child(), we first run
  through the list of recorded inodes looking for the parent and then
  we repeat the search looking for a matching child entry.  This pull
  request consolidates both searches into one pass through the recorded
  inodes, resuling in approximately a 50% reduction in audit overhead.
  
  See the commit description for the testing details.

- Combine kmalloc()/memset() into kzalloc() in audit_krule_to_data()

- Comment fixes

Paul
