[PATCH 18/20] audit: add new message type AUDIT_CREATE_NS

Since there is no more place for flags of clone system call.
we need to find a way to create audit namespace.

this patch add a new type of message AUDIT_CREATE_NS.
user space can create new audit namespace through
netlink.

Right now, The privileged user in user namespace is allowed
to create audit namespace. it means the unprivileged user can
create an user namespace and then create audit namespace.

Looks like it is not safe, but even the unprivileged user can
create audit namespace, it can do no harm to the host. un-init
audit namespace cann't effect the host.

In the follow patches, the audit_backlog_limit will be per
audit namesapace, but only the privileged user has rights to
modify it. and the default value of audit_backlog_limit for
uninit audit namespace will be set to 0.

And the audit_rate_limit will be limited too.
