lsm: add LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NS for namespace audit records
Add a new LSM audit data type LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NS that logs namespace information in audit records. Two fields are provided: - namespace_type: the CLONE_NEW* flag identifying the namespace type, logged in hexadecimal. - namespace_id: the unique 64-bit namespace identifier, retrievable from userspace via NS_GET_ID or listns(2). Unlike the proc inode number (inum), namespace_id is never recycled. For namespace creation denials, namespace_id is 0 because the namespace does not exist yet. A new audit data type is needed because no existing LSM_AUDIT_DATA_* type carries namespace information. The closest alternatives (e.g. LSM_AUDIT_DATA_TASK or LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NONE with custom strings) would either lose the namespace type or require ad-hoc formatting that bypasses the structured audit data union.
