On user and remote filesystems, a forced umount can still hang due

These two patches take different approaches to address this, one by
avoiding the lookup when the MNT_FORCE flag is included, the other by
providing a method to filter out auditing specified types of filesystems.
This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.
Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable auditing
processes that touch removable filesystems.

Just to get this out of the way, don't use "moar", spell it properly.
Beyond that, it's not clear to me from your cover letter if you are
proposing these patches as an "or" or as an "and"; assuming the
patch(es) are reasonable, do you want us to merge both of these
patches, or only the one we like the most?
