kernel/auditfilter.c: tree and watch will memory leak when failure occurs

In audit_data_to_entry() when a failure occurs we must check and free
the tree and watch to avoid a memory leak.

  test:
    plan:
      test command:
        "auditctl -a exit,always -w /etc -F auid=-1"
        (on fedora17, need modify auditctl to let "-w /etc" has effect)
      running:
        under fedora17 x86_64, 2 CPUs 3.20GHz, 2.5GB RAM.
        let 15 auditctl processes continue running at the same time.
      monitor command:
        watch -d -n 1 "cat /proc/meminfo | awk '{print \$2}' \
          | head -n 4 | xargs \
          | awk '{print \"used \",\$1 - \$2 - \$3 - \$4}'"

    result:
      for original version:
        will use up all memory, within 3 hours.
        kill all auditctl, the memory still does not free.
      for new version (apply this patch):
        after 14 hours later, not find issues.
