[PATCH 03/12] ima: Free the entire rule when deleting a list of rules

Use ima_free_rule() to fix memory leaks of allocated ima_rule_entry
members, such as .fsname and .keyrings, when deleting a list of rules.

This fixes a memory leak seen when loading by a valid rule that contains
an additional piece of allocated memory, such as an fsname, followed by
an invalid rule that triggers a policy load failure:

 # echo -e "dont_measure fsname=securityfs\nbad syntax" > \
    /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy
 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 unreferenced object 0xffff9bab67ca12c0 (size 16):
