So ok, this seems somewhat clear now. When smack and 
CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y
is selected the bpf LSM will register NOP handlers including

bpf_lsm_fs_context_fs_param()

for the

fs_context_fs_param

LSM hook. The bpf LSM runs last, i.e. after smack according to:

CONFIG_LSM="landlock,lockdown,yama,safesetid,integrity,tomoyo,smack,bpf"

in the appended config. The smack hook runs and sets

param->string = NULL

then the bpf NOP handler runs returning -ENOPARM indicating to the vfs
parameter parser that this is not a security module option so it should
proceed processing the parameter subsequently causing the crash because
param->string is not allowed to be NULL (Which the vfs parameter parser
verifies early in fsconfig().).
The security_fs_context_parse_param() function is incorrectly
implemented using the call_int_hook() macro. It should return
zero if any of the modules return zero. It does not follow the
usual failure model of LSM hooks. It could be argued that the
code was fine before the addition of the BPF hook, but it was
going to fail as soon as any two security modules provided
mount options.

Regardless, I will have a patch later today. Thank you for
tracking this down.
Here's my proposed patch. I'll tidy it up with a proper
commit message if it looks alright to y'all. I've tested
with Smack and with and without BPF.
Looks good to me.
On question, in contrast to smack, selinux returns 1 instead of 0 on
success. So selinux would cause an early return preventing other hooks
from running. Just making sure that this is intentional.

Iirc, this would mean that selinux causes fsconfig() to return a
positive value to userspace which I think is a bug; likely in selinux.
So I think selinux should either return 0 or the security hook itself
needs to overwrite a positive value with a sensible errno that can be
seen by userspace.
