I find the second argument "type" is not used in audit_filter_user().
Is it used later or redundant?
If it is redundant, I think it should be removed.

I researched this all the way back to our RHEL4 kernel. This appears to be in
every kernel I can find. I don't know what its original purpose is, but it
does appear to be unused. Its not on a performance critical path, but should
be cleaned up just on the principal of it. Someone should submit a patch
deleting this argument.
