[PATCH -next] selinux: Let the caller free the momory in *mnt_opts on error

From: Xiu Jianfeng
Date: Thu Jun 16 2022 - 07:53:28 EST


It may allocate memory for @mnt_opts if NULL in selinux_add_opt(), and
now some error paths goto @err label while others don't, as suggested
by Paul, don't free memory in case of error and let the caller to cleanup
on error.

And also this patch change the @s NULL check to return -EINVAL instead.
