Reset the type of the record last as the helper `audit_free_module()`
depends on it.

    unreferenced object 0xffff888153b707f0 (size 16):
      comm "modprobe", pid 1319, jiffies 4295110033 (age 1083.016s)
      hex dump (first 16 bytes):
        62 69 6e 66 6d 74 5f 6d 69 73 63 00 6b 6b 6b a5  binfmt_misc.kkk.
      backtrace:
