We have it, see -ESHUTDOWN below.

No, I meant atsk to refer specifically to the audit daemon task and not
any other random one that is doing the signalling.  I can change it is
there is a strong objection.

This will never happen.  See -ESHUTDOWN below.

I preferred that previously.  I'll go back to that.

Agreed.  I'll switch it back to refcount.

Yes, thank you for catching that.  This would be the case of an old
userspace and we don't want that kernel mem/contid leak.

I don't understand the issue of "global system objects" since the only
time this error would be issued is if its own contid were being reused
but it hadn't cleaned up its own references yet by either issuing an
AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO* request or the targetted audit daemon hadn't cleaned
up yet.  EBUSY could be confused with already having spawned threads or
children, and ENOTUNIQ could indicate that another orchestrator/engine
had stolen its desired contid after we released it and wanted to reuse
it.  This gets me thinking about making reservations for preferred
contids that are otherwise unavailable and making callbacks to indicate
when they become available, but that seems undesirably complex right
now.
