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.
