Subject: [PATCH] selinux: set next pointer before attaching to list

Set the next pointer in filename_trans_read_helper() before attaching
the new node under construction to the list, otherwise garbage would be
dereferenced on subsequent failure during cleanup in the out goto label.

Fixes: 430059024389 ("selinux: implement new format of filename transitions")
