[PATCH 5.1 371/405] audit: fix a memleak caused by auditing load module

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 30 2019 - 00:43:29 EST


[ Upstream commit 95e0b46fcebd7dbf6850dee96046e4c4ddc7f69c ]

module.name will be allocated unconditionally when auditing load
module, and audit_log_start() can fail with other reasons, or
audit_log_exit maybe not called, caused module.name is not freed

so free module.name in audit_free_context and __audit_syscall_exit

unreferenced object 0xffff88af90837d20 (size 8):
comm "modprobe", pid 1036, jiffies 4294704867 (age 3069.138s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
