Subject: [PATCH 01/20] Audit: make audit netlink socket net namespace unaware

Add a compare function which always return true for
audit netlink socket, this will cause audit netlink
sockets netns unaware, and no matter which netns the
user space audit netlink sockets belong to, they all
can find out and communicate with audit_sock.

This gets rid of the necessary to create per-netns
audit kernel side socket(audit_sock), it's pain to
depend on and get reference of netns for auditns.
