Tracefs or debugfs were causing hundreds to thousands of PATH records to
be associated with the init_module and finit_module SYSCALL records on a
few modules when the following rule was in place for startup:
-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S init_module -F key=mod-load
Add the new "filesystem" filter list anchored in __audit_inode_child() to
filter out PATH records from uninteresting filesystem types, "fstype",
keying on their kernel hexadecimal 4-octet magic identifier.
An example rule would look like:
-a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x74726163 -F key=ignore_tracefs
-a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x64626720 -F key=ignore_debugfs
Note: "always,filesystem" will log the PATH record anyways and add latency.
See: https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/issues/8

v3:
Update feature bitmap macros to reflect filter name change.
v2:
Change filter name from "path" to "filesystem".
Rebase onto other patches accepted upstream.
