[ Upstream commit d8db60cb23e49a92cf8cada3297395c7fa50fdf8 ]

Fix avc_insert() to call avc_node_kill() if we've already allocated
an AVC node and the code fails to insert the node in the cache.

Fixes: fa1aa143ac4a ("selinux: extended permissions for ioctls")

You should also apply 030b995ad9ece9fa2d218af4429c1c78c2342096 ("selinux: ensure we cleanup the internal AVC counters on error in avc_update()") which fixes one additional instance of the same kind of bug not addressed by this patch.
