[PATCH v2 02/11] ima: Free the entire rule when deleting a list of rules

[Tyler Hicks]

Create a function, ima_free_rule(), to free all memory associated with
an ima_rule_entry. Use the new function to fix memory leaks of allocated
ima_rule_entry members, such as .fsname and .keyrings, when deleting a
list of rules.

Make the existing ima_lsm_free_rule() function specific to the LSM
audit rule array of an ima_rule_entry and require that callers make an
additional call to kfree to free the ima_rule_entry itself.

This fixes a memory leak seen when loading by a valid rule that contains
an additional piece of allocated memory, such as an fsname, followed by
an invalid rule that triggers a policy load failure:

 # echo -e "dont_measure fsname=securityfs\nbad syntax" > \
    /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy
 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

* v2
  - Collapsed patch #2 from v1 of this series, into this patch. This
    patch now introduces ima_free_rule().
  - Existing callers of ima_lsm_free_rule() are doing so to free rules
    after a successful or failed ima_lsm_copy_rule() and those callers
    continue to directly call ima_lsm_copy_rule() rather than doing
    explicit reference ownership and calling ima_free_rule().
  - The kfree(entry) of ima_lsm_free_rule() was removed from that
    function to make it focused on freeing the LSM references. Direct
    callers of ima_lsm_free_rule() must now call kfree(entry) after
    ima_lsm_free_rule().
  - A comment was added in ima_lsm_update_rule() to clarify why
    ima_free_rule() isn't being used.
