audit, io_uring, io-wq: Fix memory leak in io_sq_thread() and io_wqe_worker()

Currently @audit_context is allocated twice for io_uring workers:

  1. copy_process() calls audit_alloc();
  2. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() calls audit_alloc_kernel() (which
     is effectively audit_alloc()) and overwrites @audit_context,
     causing:

  BUG: memory leak

Then,

  3. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() frees @audit_context using
     audit_free();
  4. do_exit() eventually calls audit_free() again, which is okay
     because audit_free() does a NULL check.

As suggested by Paul Moore, fix it by deleting audit_alloc_kernel() and
redundant audit_free() calls.
