Subject: [PATCH -next] selinux: Fix potential memory leak in selinux_add_opt

In the entry of selinux_add_opt, *mnt_opts may be assigned to new
allocated memory, and also may be freed and reset at the end of the
function. however, if security_context_str_to_sid failed, it returns
directly and skips the procedure for free and reset, even if it may be
handled at the caller of this function, It is better to handle it
inside.

Fixes: 70f4169ab421 ("selinux: parse contexts for mount options early")
