Re: [PATCH V2] selinux: fix memory leak in sel_make_bools

["Serge E. Hallyn" <serue@us.ibm.com>]

Quoting Xiaotian Feng (dfeng@redhat.com):
> In sel_make_bools, kernel allocates memory for bool_pending_names[i]
> with security_get_bools. So if we just free bool_pending_names, those
> memories for bool_pending_names[i] will be leaked.
