Re: [PATCH ghak21 V2 2/4] audit: link denied should not directly generate PATH record

Audit link denied events generate duplicate PATH records which disagree in different ways from symlink and hardlink denials. audit_log_link_denied() should not directly generate PATH records. While we're at it, remove the now useless struct path argument.
