Merge tag 'audit-pr-20180731' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit
Pull audit fix from Paul Moore: "A single small audit fix to guard against memory allocation failures when logging information about a kernel module load. It's small, easy to understand, and self-contained; while nothing is zero risk, this should be pretty low" * tag 'audit-pr-20180731' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit: audit: fix potential null dereference 'context->module.name'
