My apologies, I didn't notice this in the previous patch ... I don't
think we need to log this as an untrusted string as the string value
is coming from the kernel, not userspace, so we could rewrite the
above as the following:

  audit_log_format(ab, " anonclass=%s", a->u.anonclass);

... if you are okay with that, I can make the change when I merge the
patch or you can submit another revision, let me know which you would
prefer.

The rest of the patch looks good, thanks!
