From: Masami Ichikawa
Date: Mon Jul 17 2017 - 11:51:52 EST
I got following memory leak reports by kmemleak.
unreferenced object 0xffff965962fa0600 (size 256):
comm "auditd", pid 401, jiffies 4294671604 (age 62.331s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

These skb objects have been allocated in audit_replace().
If some error happened in auditd_send_unicast_skb(), skb is needed
to be freed.
