UAF, that - *sb gets freed by the time you try to fetch sb->s_fs_info...
Fetch the pointer first, then destroy the object you've fetched it
from, then free what it points to...

That one's fine.

Cosmetical, really - see another posting in the same thread.

A real bug, but an incomplete fix - you've just gotten yourself a double-free;
failure in sel_fill_super() has no need to do selinux_fs_info_free() now.
