Hi,

Thank you very much for this patch, but I think we need to look a bit
harder at this problem as it appears that many callers assume that
selinux_parse_opts_str() cleans up after itself.  Looking quickly I
found what appear to be two problems, there are likely more ...

* selinux_sb_remount()
If selinux_parse_opts_str() fails here it doesn't appear we cleanup
opts properly, although changing the jump target from
"out_free_secdata" to "out_free_opts" would appear to correct this.

* btrfs_mount()
This function calls parse_security_options() which in turn calls
security_sb_parse_opts_str(), but if parse_security_options() fails in
this case the security_mnt_opts are not free'd.

At this point I wonder if the quick fix is to set opts->mnt_opts to
NULL after kfree()'ing it, or simply drop the kfree() call and call
security_free_mnt_opts() in the out_err error handling code; the
latter is a bit more work than needed, but I believe it should be safe
in all conditions.
