commit ad982c3 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().
