Clang's static analysis tool reports these double free memory errors.

security/selinux/ss/services.c:2987:4: warning: Attempt to free released memory [unix.Malloc]
                        kfree(bnames[i]);
                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
security/selinux/ss/services.c:2990:2: warning: Attempt to free released memory [unix.Malloc]
        kfree(bvalues);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So improve the security_get_bools error handling by freeing these variables
and setting their return pointers to NULL and the return len to 0

Thanks Tom for the patch and Stephen for the review.

I've marked this for stable and merged it into selinux/stable-5.8.
Considering we are just a few days away from the close of the merge
window and -rc1, I'll probably hold off until next to send this up to
Linus.
