Hello.
Thanks for the patch, but I have to ask if you've considered freeing
the module name in audit_free_context()? That seems like the correct
way to solve this issue.

It does not work that move the freeing of module.name in audit_free_context
Since we should free module.name based on context->types is AUDIT_KERN_MODULE,
but __audit_syscall_exit is called first, and will set context->type to 0,
When audit_free_context is called, context->type is 0, will cause to fail.
I will change this patches as below:

audit: fix a memleak caused by auditing load module
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 released
so always free module.name in audit_free_context
