I'd prefer something like:

If the hook returns 0, the caller is responsible for destroying the
returned @mnt_opts using the @sb_free_mnt_opts hook. The LSMs must not
expect the callers to destroy @mnt_opts if the hook returns an error
and should always set it to NULL in such case.

(You may want to double-check that the other implementations of this
hook (i.e. security/smack/smack_lsm.c) follow that contract and fix
them if necessary.)

Thanks for your efforts to improve this!
