audit: Fix use after free in audit_remove_watch_rule()
audit_remove_watch_rule() drops watch's reference to parent but then continues to work with it. That is not safe as parent can get freed once we drop our reference. The following is a trivial reproducer: mount -o loop image /mnt touch /mnt/file auditctl -w /mnt/file -p wax umount /mnt auditctl -D <crash in fsnotify_destroy_mark()> Grab our own reference in audit_remove_watch_rule() earlier to make sure mark does not get freed under us.
