Subject: [PATCH 5.10 01/86] audit: fix potential double free on error path from fsnotify_add_inode_mark

From: Gaosheng Cui <cuigaosheng1@...wei.com>

commit ad982c3be4e60c7d39c03f782733503cbd88fd2a upstream.

Audit_alloc_mark() assign pathname to audit_mark->path, on error path
from fsnotify_add_inode_mark(), fsnotify_put_mark will free memory
of audit_mark->path, but the caller of audit_alloc_mark will free
the pathname again, so there will be double free problem.

Fix this by resetting audit_mark->path to NULL pointer on error path
from fsnotify_add_inode_mark().
