If security_cred_alloc_blank() fails for lack of memory in cred_alloc_blank() abort_creds() will be called. This in turn calls put_cred() and put_cred_rcu(), which will call security_cred_free() with ->security set to NULL. put_cred_rcu() is the only caller of security_cred_free(). The ->security == NULL check can be in either put_cred_rcu() or in security_cred_free(). I suggest the latter as the cleanest option.
