[PATCH] fs: prevent use after free in auditing when symlink following was denied

[Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>]

Commit "fs: add link restriction audit reporting" has added auditing of failed
attempts to follow symlinks. Unfortunately, the auditing was being done after
the struct path structure was released earlier.
