libsepol/cil: do not dereference a NULL pointer when calloc() fails
When list_init() fails to allocate a list with calloc(), it calls list_destroy(&l) with l = NULL. This functions starts by dereferencing its argument ("(*list)->head"), which does not work well when it is NULL. This bug can be fixed by returning directly in list_init() when calloc() fails. Doing so allows making list_init() implementation shorter by removing label "exit" and local variable "rc". This issue has been found using clang's static analyzer.

If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis): cd libsepol; make DESTDIR=/usr/local PREFIX=/usr/local install This requires GNU coreutils (brew install coreutils).
