I agree this is true except in the case of !CLONE_SIGHAND, if it fails
after copy_sighand() or copy_signal() then it would be null and would
get freed before audit_free() is called. By the time tty gets copied
from current in this case, it is past the point of failure in
copy_process().

Given the circumstances above, this appears reasonable to me at first
look.
