Tested this patch to make sure it eliminates the slowdown of
iptables-nft when auditd is running. With this applied, neither
iptables-nft-restore nor 'iptables-nft -F' show a significant
difference in run-time between running or stopped auditd, at least for
large rulesets. Individual calls suffer from added audit logging, but
that's expected of course.
