Given Pablo's assurances, this could go either way, fix audit_ip4 to use
skb_network_offset() or fix audit_ip6 to use zero.  I don't have a
strong opinion, but using zero would be more efficient while using
skb_network_offset() would remove the doubt.  Either way, the
consistency will avoid raising doubt in the future as you have
(rightfully) done.

It didn't look like a concern given Pablo's assurance.

It never had to deal specifically with nfmark previously because it
wasn't included if it was blank.  Generally other values that are -1 are
interpreted by the audit userspace tools as unset (session id, auid,
etc...)
