[ Upstream commit a48b284b403a4a073d8beb72d2bb33e54df67fb6 ]

If audit_send_reply() fails when trying to create a new thread to
send the reply it also fails to cleanup properly, leaking a reference
to a net structure.  This patch fixes the error path and makes a
handful of other cleanups that came up while fixing the code.
