[PATCH] Smack: Fix memory leak in smack_inode_getsecctx

[Casey Schaufler]

Fix memory leak in smack_inode_getsecctx

The implementation of smack_inode_getsecctx() made
incorrect assumptions about how Smack presents a security
context. Smack does not need to allocate memory to support
security contexts, so "releasing" a Smack context is a no-op.
The code made an unnecessary copy and returned that as a
context, which was never freed. The revised implementation
returns the context correctly.
