Subject: audit: don't free_chunk() after fsnotify_add_mark()

From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>

commit 0fe33aae0e94b4097dd433c9399e16e17d638cd8 upstream.

Don't do free_chunk() after fsnotify_add_mark().  That one does a delayed unref
via the destroy list and this results in use-after-free.
