Richard Guy Briggs d904ac0320 audit: rename FILTER_TYPE to FILTER_EXCLUDE
The AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE name is vague and misleading due to not describing
where or when the filter is applied and obsolete due to its available
filter fields having been expanded.

Userspace has already renamed it from AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE to
AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE without checking if it already exists.  The
userspace maintainer assures that as long as it is set to the same value
it will not be a problem since the userspace code does not treat
compiler warnings as errors.  If this policy changes then checks if it
already exists can be added at the same time.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
