Subject: [PATCH] audit: fix a memleak caused by auditing load module
Git-commit: 95e0b46fcebd7dbf6850dee96046e4c4ddc7f69c
Patch-mainline: v5.2-rc1
References: bsc#1051510

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
