    In audit_rule_change(), audit_data_to_entry() is firstly invoked to
    translate the payload data to the kernel's rule representation. In
    audit_data_to_entry(), depending on the audit field type, an audit tree may
    be created in audit_make_tree(), which eventually invokes kmalloc() to
    allocate the tree.  Since this tree is a temporary tree, it will be then
    freed in the following execution, e.g., audit_add_rule() if the message
    type is AUDIT_ADD_RULE or audit_del_rule() if the message type is
    AUDIT_DEL_RULE. However, if the message type is neither AUDIT_ADD_RULE nor
    AUDIT_DEL_RULE, i.e., the default case of the switch statement, this
    temporary tree is not freed.
    
    To fix this issue, only allocate the tree when the type is AUDIT_ADD_RULE
    or AUDIT_DEL_RULE.
