I've got some additional comments regarding the fields in the code
below, but it would be good to hear Steve comment on the "actions"
field since his userspace tools are extremely picky about what they
will accept. It looks like you are treating the actions as an
untrusted string, which is good, so I suspect you are okay, but still

Instead of NULL, let's pass current->audit_context to
audit_log_start(). Yes, most of the AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE users pass
NULL but all of that is going to need to change because of 1) the
audit container ID work and 2) it makes sense to connect records that
are related. Let's do it right the first time here :)

One of the benefits of using current->audit_context is that we get a
lot of this info from the associated SYSCALL record (assuming the
admin isn't filtering that, e.g. Fedora defaults). We can safely drop
most everything except for the "op" and "actions" fields.
Steve might also want an "old-actions" field, but I'll let him speak to that.
