After commit 3e1d0bb6224f019893d1c498cc3327559d183674 ("audit: Convert int limit uses to u32"), by converting an int to u32, few conditions will always evaluate to false. These warnings were emitted during compilation: kernel/audit.c: In function ‘audit_set_enabled’: kernel/audit.c:347:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits] if (state < AUDIT_OFF || state > AUDIT_LOCKED) ^ kernel/audit.c: In function ‘audit_receive_msg’: kernel/audit.c:880:9: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits] if (s.backlog_wait_time < 0 || The following patch removes those unnecessary conditions.
