Subject: [PATCH] audit: fix memory leak in nf_tables_commit

In nf_tables_commit, if nf_tables_commit_audit_alloc fails, it does not
free the adp variable.

Fix this by freeing the linked list with head adl.

backtrace:

As far as I see, the more default way is to reference to syzbot by:

Reported-by: syzbot+[[20-letter hex reference]]@syzkaller.appspotmail.com

as in for example:

Reported-by: [email protected]

A rough count says that format above is used 1300 times, whereas

Reported-by: syzbot <[email protected]>

is only used about 330 times.

Hi Lukas,

this bug is not listed on the syzbot dashboard. I found this bug by
setting up a local syzkaller instance, so I only list syzbot other
than concrete syzbot id.

best regards,
