Why not simply move this second CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL above the list_del() 
calls?  Am I missing something?

Also, while we're fixing up audit_del_rule(), why not also move the 
mutex_unlock() call to after the "out" jump target and then drop the 
mutex_unlock() call in the audit_find_rule() error case?  Not your fault, but 
the code seems silly as-is.
