Subject: [PATCH v3 03/12] ima: Free the entire rule if it fails to parse

Use ima_free_rule() to fix memory leaks of allocated ima_rule_entry
members, such as .fsname and .keyrings, when an error is encountered
during rule parsing.

Set the args_p pointer to NULL after freeing it in the error path of
ima_lsm_rule_init() so that it isn't freed twice.

This fixes a memory leak seen when loading an rule that contains an
additional piece of allocated memory, such as an fsname, followed by an
invalid conditional:

 # echo "measure fsname=tmpfs bad=cond" > /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy
 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 unreferenced object 0xffff98e7e4ece6c0 (size 8):
   comm "bash", pid 672, jiffies 4294791843 (age 21.855s)
   hex dump (first 8 bytes):
