audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace.
commit c92cdeb4 upstream. sys_getppid() returns the parent pid of the current process in its own pid namespace. Since audit filters are based in the init pid namespace, a process could avoid a filter or trigger an unintended one by being in an alternate pid namespace or log meaningless information. Switch to task_ppid_nr() for PPIDs to anchor all audit filters in the init_pid_ns. (informed by ebiederman's 6c621b7e) Cc: Eric W.
