selinux: do not leave dangling pointer behind
In case mls_context_cpy() fails due to OOM set the free'd pointer in
context_cpy() to NULL to avoid it potentially being dereferenced or
free'd again in future. Freeing a NULL pointer is well-defined and a
hard NULL dereference crash is at least not exploitable and should give
a workable stack trace.
