[ Upstream commit baa2a4fdd525c8c4b0f704d20457195b29437839 ]

audit_add_watch stores locally krule->watch without taking a reference
on watch. Then, it calls audit_add_to_parent, and uses the watch stored
locally.

Unfortunately, it is possible that audit_add_to_parent updates
krule->watch.
When it happens, it also drops a reference of watch which
could free the watch.

How to reproduce (with KASAN enabled):

    auditctl -w /etc/passwd -F success=0 -k test_passwd
    auditctl -w /etc/passwd -F success=1 -k test_passwd2

The second call to auditctl triggers the use-after-free, because
audit_to_parent updates krule->watch to use a previous existing watch
and drops the reference to the newly created watch.

To fix the issue, we grab a reference of watch and we release it at the
end of the function.
