[PATCH v2 2/9] security: Add LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NS for namespace audit records

["Mickaël Salaün" <mic@digikod.net>]

Add a new LSM audit data type LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NS that logs namespace
information in audit records.  Two fields are provided:

- ns_type: the CLONE_NEW* flag identifying the namespace type, logged
  in hexadecimal.

- ns_id: the unique 64-bit namespace identifier, retrievable from
  userspace via NS_GET_ID or listns(2).  Unlike the proc inode number
  (inum), ns_id is never recycled.  For namespace creation denials,
  ns_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.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260312100444.2609563-3-mic@digikod.net
- Replace inum with ns_id in the audit record: ns_id is the stable
  64-bit namespace identifier (never recycled), accessible to
  userspace via NS_GET_ID and listns(2) (suggested by Christian
  Brauner).
