    Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
     "The audit updates are fairly minor with only two patches:
    
       - Send an audit ACK to userspace immediately upon receiving an auditd
         registration event as opposed to waiting until the registration has
         been fully processed and the audit backlog starts filling the
         netlink buffers.
    
         Sending the ACK earlier, as done here, is still safe as the
         operation should not fail at the point when the ACK is done, and
         doing so helps avoid the ACK being dropped in extreme situations.
    
       - Update the audit MAINTAINERS entry with additional information.
    
         There isn't anything in this update that should be new to regular
         contributors or list subscribers, but I'm pushing to start
         documenting our processes, conventions, etc. and this seems like an
         important part of that"
