Merge tag 'fs.xattr.simple.noaudit.v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping

Pull xattr audit fix from Seth Forshee:
 "This is a single patch to remove auditing of the capability check in
  simple_xattr_list().

  This check is done to check whether trusted xattrs should be included
  by listxattr(2). SELinux will normally log a denial when capable() is
  called and the task's SELinux context doesn't have the corresponding
  capability permission allowed, which can end up spamming the log.

  Since a failed check here cannot be used to infer malicious intent,
  auditing is of no real value, and it makes sense to stop auditing the
  capability check"

  fs: don't audit the capability check in simple_xattr_list()
