[PATCH 5.7 107/376] audit: fix a net reference leak in audit_list_rules_send()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Paul Moore <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3054d06719079388a543de6adb812638675ad8f5 ]

If audit_list_rules_send() fails when trying to create a new thread
to send the rules it also fails to cleanup properly, leaking a
reference to a net structure.  This patch fixes the error patch and
renames audit_send_list() to audit_send_list_thread() to better
match its cousin, audit_send_reply_thread().
