D'ho! Completely forgot about netdev.

I thought of mentioning the size handling in the description, but
figured it was somewhat obvious right in the code.  I'll add a comment.

I thought about this, and was thinking a check of !audit_dummy_context()
here might be a solution, but audit_socketcall_compat is a much cleaner
idea.  I did also consider that it is compat code that won't have a lot
of performance nerds screaming, but that's no excuse...
