It might be worth adding the #include <linux/audit.h> in this patch as well,
since they're both fixes for problems introduced by the same commit. That
way we only need to deal with one patch as well.

Pedantry, but I prefer the #defines outside of the function scope (I'd probably
just stick them before the function given that they're not used anywhere else).
