Most audit control messages are sent over netlink.  In order to properly
log the identity of the sender of audit control messages, we would like
to add the loginuid to the netlink_creds structure, as per the attached
patch.


Reception of netlink messages in the kernel happens in the context
of the sending process, so you can simply call
audit_get_loginuid(current->audit_context) in audit_receive_msg().
