can we add it in audit_free_rule ?

maybe like this:

@@ -75,6 +75,8 @@ static inline void audit_free_rule(struct audit_entry *e)
/* some rules don't have associated watches */
if (erule->watch)
audit_put_watch(erule->watch);
+ if (erule->tree)
+ audit_put_tree(erule->tree);
if (erule->fields)
for (i = 0; i < erule->field_count; i++) {
struct audit_field *f = &erule->fields[i];


thanks.
