  LSM: SafeSetID: Stop releasing uninitialized ruleset (2019-09-17
11:27:05 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Fix for SafeSetID bug that was introduced in 5.3

Jann Horn sent some patches to fix some bugs in SafeSetID for 5.3. After
he had done his testing there were a couple small code tweaks that went
in and caused this bug. From what I can see SafeSetID is broken in 5.3
and crashes the kernel every time during initialization if you try to
use it. I came across this bug when backporting Jann's changes for 5.3
to older kernels (4.14 and 4.19). I've tested on a Chrome OS device and
verified that this change fixes things. Unless I'm missing something it
doesn't seem super useful to have this change bake in linux-next, since it is
completely broken in 5.3 and nobody noticed.
