[PATCH 5/9] libsepol: reset *p to NULL if sepol_module_package_create fails

[Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss@xxxxxxx>]

semodule-utils/semodule_link/semodule_link.c contains:

    static sepol_module_package_t *load_module(char *filename)
    {
        /* ... */
        if (sepol_module_package_create(&p)) {
            /* ... */
            goto bad;

    /* ... */
    bad:
        sepol_module_package_free(p);

When sepol_module_package_create() fails while having successfully
allocated p, it currently frees p without setting it back to NULL. This
causes a use-after-free in load_module().

Prevent this use-after-free by setting sepol_module_package_create's
argument back to NULL when an error happens.

This issue has been found using Infer static analyzer.
