Some table unregister actions seem to be initiated by the kernel to
garbage collect unused tables that are not initiated by any userspace
actions. It was found to be necessary to add the subject credentials to
cover this case to reveal the source of these actions. A sample record:
type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(2020-03-11 21:25:21.491:269) : table=nat family=bridge
entries=0 op=unregister pid=153 uid=root auid=unset tty=(none) ses=unset
subj=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 comm=kworker/u4:2 exe=(null)
