Subject: [PATCH] selinux: fix NULL-pointer dereference when hashtab allocation fails
Git-commit: dc27f3c5d10c58069672215787a96b4fae01818b
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc3
References: git-fixes

When the hash table slot array allocation fails in hashtab_init(),
h->size is left initialized with a non-zero value, but the h->htable
pointer is NULL. This may then cause a NULL pointer dereference, since
the policydb code relies on the assumption that even after a failed
hashtab_init(), hashtab_map() and hashtab_destroy() can be safely called
on it. Yet, these detect an empty hashtab only by looking at the size.

Fix this by making sure that hashtab_init() always leaves behind a valid
empty hashtab when the allocation fails.
