Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] audit: add audit_log_nf_skb helper function

Netfilter code (net/netfilter/nft_log.c and net/netfilter/xt_AUDIT.c)
have to be kept in sync. Both source files had duplicated versions of
audit_ip4() and audit_ip6() functions, which can result in lack of
consistency and/or duplicated work.

This patch adds a helper function in audit.c that can be called by
netfilter code commonly, aiming to improve maintainability and
consistency.
