Commit 124613012db1 ("af_unix: Convert the unix_sk macro to an inline
function for type safety") was recently added to catch incorrect
uses of the unix_sk helper using compiler warnings.
It has now caught one such case in lsm_audit.c. The code is technically
correct, but as it converts a const pointer to a non-const pointer,
the annotation got lost, which gcc now warns about.
This patch avoids the warning by introducing an additional helper
that has const input and output, which makes the lsm_audit code build
cleanly again.

I'm not entirely happy with this workaround myself, but could not come
up with a better one.
