commit bda0be7ad994 ("security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware") passed down the rcu flag to the SELinux AVC, but failed to adjust the test in slow_avc_audit() to also return -ECHILD on LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY. Previously, we only returned -ECHILD if generating an audit record with LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE since this was only relevant from inode_permission. Return -ECHILD on either LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE or LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY. LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE only requires this handling due to the fact that dump_common_audit_data() calls d_find_alias() and collects the dname from the result if any. Other cases that might require similar treatment in the future are LSM_AUDIT_DATA_PATH and LSM_AUDIT_DATA_FILE if any hook that takes a path or file is called under RCU-walk.
