I hadn't seen this reported to the audit list yet, thanks for letting us now.

Richard, please submit a patch to fix this ASAP.  Looking at this, the
obvious fix is to move audit_copy_inode() to auditsc.c, but I'm not
sure if that itself is going to cause problems (it doesn't look like
it).  Actually, thinking out loud, I wonder if we shouldn't move
audit_log_cap(), audit_log_fcaps(), audit_copy_fcaps(), and
audit_log_name() too?
