In nf_tables_commit, if nf_tables_commit_audit_alloc fails, it does not
free the adp variable.

Fix this by freeing the linked list with head adl.

As far as I see, the more default way is to reference to syzbot by:

Reported-by: syzbot+[[20-letter hex reference]]@syzkaller.appspotmail.com

as in for example:

Reported-by: syzbot+fee64147a25aecd48055@syzkaller.appspotmail.com

A rough count says that format above is used 1300 times, whereas

Reported-by: syzbot <redacted>

is only used about 330 times.
