Subject: [PATCH 5.4 079/165] ocxl: Fix potential memory leak on context creation

From: Frederic Barrat <fbarrat@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 913e73c77d48aeeb50c16450a653dca9c71ae2e2 ]

If we couldn't fully init a context, we were leaking memory.

Fixes: b9721d275cc2 ("ocxl: Allow external drivers to use OpenCAPI contexts")
