[PATCH 1/1] audit: log binding and unbinding to netlink multicast

[Steve Grubb]

Log information about programs connecting and disconnecting to the audit
netlink multicast socket. This is needed so that during investigations a
security officer can tell who or what had access to the audit trail. This
helps to meet the FAU_SAR.2 requirement for Common Criteria. Sample
event:

type=UNKNOWN[1332] msg=audit(1507924331.540:3): pid=1 uid=0
auid=4294967295 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 subj=kernel comm="systemd"
exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" nlnk-grp=1 op=connect res=1
