One quick note about the subject line, instead of using "hooks:" you
should use "selinux:" since this is specific to SELinux.  If the patch
did apply to the LSM framework as a whole, I would suggest using
"lsm:" instead of "hooks:" as "hooks" is too ambiguous of a prefix.

It seems like we should also check for, and potentially free *mnt_opts
as the selinux_add_opt() error handling does just below this change,
yes?  If that is the case we might want to move that error handling
code to the bottom of the function and jump there on error.
