audit: fix a memleak caused by auditing load module
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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 not freed

so free module.name in audit_free_context and __audit_syscall_exit
