[GIT PULL] audit/audit-pr-20260615

[Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>]

Linus,

Three audit patches for Linux v7.2, the quick summary is below, but I did
want to note that you will see a forced push due to a last-minute
correction to the git metadata that I noticed while writing up this pull
request; there was no change to the code and the tag is signed as usual.

- Fix a recursive deadlock when duplicating executable file rules

Avoid multiple lookups and attempted I_MUTEX_PARENT locks when moving
watched files by passing the already resolved inodes through the audit
code.

- Fix removal of executable watch rules after the file is deleted

Prior to this fix we were unable to remove an executable file watch where
the file had been previously deleted due to a negative dentry check in
the code that performs the lookup on the file watches.

- Convert our basic "unsigned" type usage to "unsigned int".

Paul
