If you have read aufs README file, you would know there are several
patches which exports kernel functions. The patch exporting
security_inode_permission() is necessary if you are building aufs as a
module and CONFIG_SECURITY is enabled.
If you cannot patch your kernel, I am afraid you need to copy the
function to aufs source files. Additionally you may need to rename the
function in order to avoid the name confliction.

Yes, it is a limitation. But it depends upon your configuration.
