Re: [PATCH] audit: remove the audit freelist

allows better debugging as freeing audit buffers now always honors slub debug hooks (e.g. object poisoning) and leak checker can detect the free operation. Removal also results in a small speedup (using single rule 'iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j AUDIT --type drop'): super_netperf 4 -H 127.0.0.1 -l 360 -t UDP_RR -- -R 1 -m 64 Before: 294953 After: 298013 (alloc/free no longer serializes on spinlock, allocator can use percpu pool).
