Subject: [PATCH] selinux: fix SEGV during switch-root if SELinux policy loaded

If you've got SELinux policy loaded, label_hnd is your labeling handle.
When systemd is shutting down, we free that handle via mac_selinux_finish().

But: switch_root() calls mkdir_p_label(), which tries to look up a label
using that freed handle, and so we get a bunch of garbage and eventually
SEGV in libselinux.

(This doesn't happen in the switch-root from initramfs to real root because
there's no SELinux policy loaded in initramfs, so label_hnd is NULL and we
never attempt any lookups.)

So: make sure that mac_selinux_finish() actually sets label_hnd to NULL, so
nobody tries to use it after it becomes invalid.
