Hi Adrian,

Thanks for finding this mistake, however, I'd rather see it fixed by 
removing the netlbl_secattr_destroy() call in 
security_netlbl_sid_to_secattr() as it really shouldn't be there 
anymore.  We moved the matching _init() call into 
selinux_netlbl_sock_setsid() and I'd like to see the _init() and 
_destroy() calls done in the same function.  I can push a revised patch 
for this if you would prefer, otherwise I'll be happy to ack an updated 
version ...
