Subject: [PATCH] selinux: fix double free in selinux_parse_opts_str()

This patch is based on a discussion generated by an earlier patch from Tetsuo Handa:

* https://marc.info/?t=149035659300001&r=1&w=2

The double free problem involves the mnt_opts field of the security_mnt_opts struct, selinux_parse_opts_str() frees the memory on error, but doesn't set the field to NULL so if the caller later attempts to call security_free_mnt_opts() we trigger the problem.

In order to play it safe we change selinux_parse_opts_str() to call security_free_mnt_opts() on error instead of free'ing the memory directly. This should ensure that everything is handled correctly, regardless of what the caller may do.
