I'll admit it is not as clean, but it doesn't hide the mapping between
the netfilter operation and the audit operation which hopefully makes
it clear to those modifying the netfilter/nf_tables/etc. code that
there is an audit impact. I'm basically trying to make sure the code
is as robust as possible in the face of subsystem changes beyond the
audit subsystem.
