I am not comfortable with using the inode numbers this way. It does not
pass the test of can I migrate a container and still have this work
test. Any kind of kernel assigned name for namespaces fails that test.

I also don't like that you don't include the procfs device number. An
inode number means nothing without knowing which filesystem you are
referring to.

It may never happen but I reserve the right to have the inode numbers
for namespaces to show up differently in different instances of procfs.

Beyond that I think this usage is possibly buggy by using two audit
records for one event.
