aa589a13b5d00d3c643ee4114d8cbc3addb4e99f ("audit: remove superfluous
new- prefix in AUDIT_LOGIN messages")

I had thought there were more.

And I'm now noticing that audit_log_feature_change() could use the same
treatment and so could audit_receive_msg()'s AUDIT_TTY_SET.

(And much earlier: ac03221a4fdda9bfdabf99bcd129847f20fc1d80 ("[PATCH]
