[PATCH 08/14] audit: Provide helper for dropping mark's chunk reference

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

Provide a helper function audit_mark_put_chunk() for dropping mark's
reference (which has to happen only after RCU grace period expires).
Currently that happens only from a single place but in later patches we
introduce more callers.
