    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.
