+Subject: fs: handle failed audit_log_start properly
+
+From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>
+
+commit d1c7d97ad58836affde6e39980b96527510b572e upstream.
+
+audit_log_start() may return NULL, this is unchecked by the caller in
+audit_log_link_denied() and could cause a NULL ptr deref.
+
+Introduced by commit a51d9eaa ("fs: add link restriction audit reporting").
