3.2.93-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 023f108dcc187e34ef864bf10ed966cf25e14e2a upstream.

This patch is based on a discussion generated by an earlier patch
from Tetsuo Handa:

* https://marc.info/?t=149035659300001&r=1&w=2

The double free problem involves the mnt_opts field of the
security_mnt_opts struct, selinux_parse_opts_str() frees the memory
on error, but doesn't set the field to NULL so if the caller later
attempts to call security_free_mnt_opts() we trigger the problem.

In order to play it safe we change selinux_parse_opts_str() to call
security_free_mnt_opts() on error instead of free'ing the memory
directly.  This should ensure that everything is handled correctly,
regardless of what the caller may do.
