audit: make filetype matching consistent with other filters
Every other filter that matches part of the inodes list collected by audit will match against any of the inodes on that list. The filetype matching however had a strange way of doing things. It allowed userspace to indicated if it should match on the first of the second name collected by the kernel. Name collection ordering seems like a kernel internal and making userspace rules get that right just seems like a bad idea. As it turns out the userspace audit writers had no idea it was doing this and thus never overloaded the value field. The kernel always checked the first name collected which for the tested rules was always correct. This patch just makes the filetype matching like the major, minor, inode, and LSM rules in that it will match against any of the names collected. It also changes the rule validation to reject the old unused rule types. Noone knew it was there. Noone used it. Why keep around the extra code? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
