[PATCH ghak124 v2] audit: log nftables configuration change events

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Thu May 28 2020 - 21:44:55 EST


iptables, ip6tables, arptables and ebtables table registration,
replacement and unregistration configuration events are logged for the
native (legacy) iptables setsockopt api, but not for the
nftables netlink api which is used by the nft-variant of iptables in
addition to nftables itself.

Add calls to log the configuration actions in the nftables netlink api.

This uses the same NETFILTER_CFG record format but overloads the table
field.
