Hmm, AUDIT_PATH is used when a syscall's argument is a path, but in the
case of Landlock, the arguments are file descriptors.

I can still export audit_copy_inode() to create a synthetic audit_names
struct, and export/call audit_log_name() to create an AUDIT_PATH entry
but I'm not sure it is the best approach. What would you prefer?
Should I use AUDIT_TYPE_NORMAL or create a new one?
