Subject: [PATCH v2] audit, io_uring, io-wq: Fix memory leak in io_sq_thread() and io_wqe_worker()
From: Peilin Ye <peilin.ye@...edance.com>
Currently @audit_context is allocated twice for io_uring workers:
1. copy_process() calls audit_alloc();
2. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() calls audit_alloc_kernel() (which
is effectively audit_alloc()) and overwrites @audit_context,
causing:
BUG: memory leak

Then,
3. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() frees @audit_context using
audit_free();
4. do_exit() eventually calls audit_free() again, which is okay
because audit_free() does a NULL check.
As suggested by Paul Moore, fix it by deleting audit_alloc_kernel() and
redundant audit_free() calls.
