Ok, pulled. However, looking at the changes in the patch it becomes
obvious that it is now completely bogus to inline the
"audit_signal_info()" function.

That silly inline in the header file now only generates bigger and
slower code, since that inlined function now calls another function
auditd_test_task() that is *not* inlined, so it ends up being a
function call anyway.

It would be much better to just unlinline audit_signal_info(), move it
into kernel/audit.c, and let the compiler then inline the
__audit_signal_info() helper function (or just fold it into that
function manually as part of the move).

The whole reason for that inlined part, and the uninlined
__audit_signal_info() helper was that the code *used* to be able to
avoid a function call entirely. That reason is now gone.
