Subject: [PATCH][next] smack: fix two memory leaks in smack_add_opt

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently if s is null or when returning via the error exit label
out_opt_err leaks of the allocated opts can occur. Fix the leak
on the null s case by checking s is null before the allocation. Fix
the leak on the exit path by checking if opts was allocated by
kfree'ing opts.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1475953 ("Resource leak")
