[Yangtao Li]

audit.h and skbuff.h are included twice.It's unnecessary.
hence just remove them.

While there are two header files named audit.h, they are different
files as one lives in include/linux/audit.h, the other in
kernel/audit.h. Granted, kernel/audit.h does include the
include/linux/audit.h file but it should be protected from multiple
inclusion by the _LINUX_AUDIT_H_ definition.

I currently prefer to keep both <linux/audit.h> and "audit.h" in
audit.c to help make the dependencies explicit in audit.c itself.

How about fs.h and others?

In the case of linux/fs.h, I believe that you wanted to remove it
because we are already including linux/fsnotify_backend.h (or
similar), yes? In that case I think it comes down to a similar idea:
keep linux/fs.h when we are directly referencing a function, variable,
etc. that is declared in linux/fs.h. Needless to say, I would take
the same position with other header files.

If you can find a case where we are not making any direct references
to something in a header file, I'm happy to merge a patch which
removes that include.
