[PATCH 4/6 RFC] netfilter: ebtables: audit table registration

Generate audit NETFILTER_CFG records on ebtables table registration.

Previously this was only being done for all x_tables operations and ebtables
table replacement.

Audit only when there is an existing syscall audit rule, otherwise issue a
standalone record only on table modification rather than empty table creation.
Include subject attributes to the new standalone NETFILTER_CFGSOLO record using
audit_log_task().

Here is a sample accompanied record:
  type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1494907217.558:5403): family=7 table=filter entries=0

and unaccompanied case:
  type=UNKNOWN[1331] msg=audit(1494723394.832:111): auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 pid=556 comm="ebtables-restor" exe="/usr/sbin/ebtables-restore" family=7 table=broute entries=1
