Re: [PATCH] audit: Rename enum audit_state constants to avoid AUDIT_DISABLED redefinition

[Sergey Nazarov <s-nazarov@yandex.ru>]

Hi, Paul!
I think this could be easer. It's enouth to rename AUDIT_DISABLE only.
enum audit_state deals with per-task syscalls audit context, so we can
use AUDIT_CONTEXT_DISABLED for example. If it's okay, I can send a new
patch version.
