Is the preparsed field strictly necessary? Can't we just write the
code to assume that if a given SID field is not SECSID_NULL then it is
valid/preparsed?

It seems like it would still be useful to see the warning even when sb
is NULL, wouldn't you say? How about something like this:

if (rc)
pr_warn("SELinux: blah blah blah (dev %s, type %s) blah blah\n",
(sb ? sb->s_id : "?"),
(sb ? sb->s_type->name : "?"));

Since there is no looping in selinux_add_opt, and you can only specify
one token/option for a given call to this function, it seems like we
can do away with preparse_sid and just do the selinux_initialized(...)
check directly in the code below, yes?

Is there a reason why we need a dedicated sid variable as opposed to
passing opt->context_sid as the parameter? For example:

rc = parse_sid(NULL, s, &opts->context_sid);
