SELinux: memory leak in security_context_to_sid_core 

Fix a bug and a philosophical decision about who handles errors.

security_context_to_sid_core() was leaking a context in the common case.
This was causing problems on fedora systems which recently have started
making extensive use of this function.

In discussion it was decided that if string_to_context_struct() had an
error it was its own responsibility to clean up any mess it created
along the way.
