Commit e0ac568de1fa ("selinux: reduce the use of hard-coded hash sizes")
moved symtab initialization out of policydb_init(), but left the cleanup
of symtabs from the error path. This patch fixes the oversight.

Looks like avtab_init() and cond_policydb_init() can no longer return
errors, merely initialize fields to 0/NULL,
which is already done via the memset above, and are not used anywhere
else so those can go away entirely?

Technically these aren't needed either but I guess we can leave them
in case ebitmap_init() does more than just memset
at some point.

OK, but that can be done in a separate patch, right? Do you plan to
send it? Anyway, I'd prefer to keep the *_init() functions for the
sake of abstraction - I'd suggest just changing the return type to
void where possible.

Fair enough.

I tend to agree.  Merged into selinux/next.

I'm also not seeing a patch from anyone to change the return type so
I'll put one together now.
