[PATCH v4 4/4] fanotify,audit: deliver fan_info as a hex-encoded string

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Tue Aug 09 2022 - 13:23:57 EST


Currently the only type of fanotify info that is defined is an audit
rule number, but convert it to hex encoding to future-proof the field.

Sample record:
type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1659730979.839:284): resp=1 fan_type=0 fan_info=3F
