Use imperative mood ("Introduce" instead of "This patch introduces
..." and "Add ..." instead of "A new type has been introduced").

Simplify this patch by adding "blocked" in the first patch. Then you
won't have to touch the permission checking that is unrelated to the
audit logging. Consider adding a helper to do the checking and return
"blocked" so it doesn't clutter vfio_config_do_rw().
