Subject: [PATCH][next] selinux: fix allocation failure check on newpolicy->sidtab

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

The allocation check of newpolicy->sidtab is null checking if
newpolicy is null and not newpolicy->sidtab. Fix this.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")
Fixes: c7c556f1e81b ("selinux: refactor changing booleans")
