I took your advice on just initializing inode->i_audit to NULL like the 
security field.  So would this be reasonable Stephen?

if (audit_inode_free(inode) || security_inode_alloc(inode)) {
	audit_inode_free(inode);
	security_inode_free(inode);
	if (inode->i_sb->s_op->destroy_inode)
		inode->i_sb->s_op->destroy_inode(inode);
	else
		kmem_cache_free(inode_cachep, (inode));
	return NULL;
}

This way, in either case where there could be leakage, we clean up the memory 
before the inode goes bye-bye.
