[PATCH 5.10/5.15/6.1] selinux: reject an unclaimed class value in security_get_classes()

[Alexander Martyniuk <alexevgmart@gmail.com>]

From: Bryam Vargas <hexlabsecurity@proton.me>

commit 22b05fec62c0fe9864cfceb52f7d0f3a34d9b1dd upstream.

security_get_classes() sizes an array by p_classes.nprim and fills it at
value - 1, so a class value the policy never defines leaves a NULL.
sel_make_classes() passes every entry to sel_make_dir(), reaching the same
d_alloc_name() dereference as the permission array. The class symbol table
is allowed to be sparse (policydb_class_isvalid() exists to absorb that),
but this getter builds its own array straight from the hash table and has
no such predicate.

Fail the lookup when a value went unclaimed instead of handing out the
NULL. Conforming policies define every class they declare and are
unaffected.
