[PATCH 1/1] mm: Fix memory leak on mm_init error handling

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

commit f1a7941243c1 ("mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter")
introduces a memory leak by missing a call to destroy_context() when a
percpu_counter fails to allocate.

Before introducing the per-cpu counter allocations, init_new_context()
was the last call that could fail in mm_init(), and thus there was no
need to ever invoke destroy_context() in the error paths. Adding the
following percpu counter allocations adds error paths after
init_new_context(), which means its associated destroy_context() needs
to be called when percpu counters fail to allocate.
