6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christian Göttsche cgzones@googlemail.com
commit 37801a36b4d68892ce807264f784d818f8d0d39b upstream.
In case kern_mount() fails and returns an error pointer return in the error branch instead of continuing and dereferencing the error pointer.
While on it drop the never read static variable selinuxfs_mount.
