The issue occurs in the following scenarios:

unix_create1()
  sk_alloc()
    sk_prot_alloc()
      security_sk_alloc()
        call_int_hook()
          hlist_for_each_entry()
            entry1->hook.sk_alloc_security
            <-- selinux_sk_alloc_security() succeeded,
            <-- sk->security alloced here.
            entry2->hook.sk_alloc_security
            <-- bpf_lsm_sk_alloc_security() failed
      goto out_free;
        ...    <-- the sk->security not freed, memleak

To fix, if security_sk_alloc() failed and sk->security not null,
goto out_free_sec to reclaim resources.

I'm not sure whether this fix makes sense, but if hook lists don't
support this usage, might need to modify the
"tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm_cgroup.c" test case.
