If the caller's error flow does not invoke
gss_krb5_delete_sec_context(), then I would expect more than just
mech_used.data would be leaked. What if, instead, you changed
gss_krb5_import_sec_context() like this (untested):

471         ret = gss_import_v2_context(p, end, ctx, gfp_mask);
472         memzero_explicit(&ctx->Ksess, sizeof(ctx->Ksess));
473         if (ret) {      
   -                kfree(ctx);                      
   +                gss_krb5_delete_sec_context(ctx);
475                 return ret;
476         }    

Obviously you would need to add a forward declaration of
gss_krb5_import_sec_context() to make this compile. The question
is whether gss_krb5_delete_sec_context() will deal with a partially-
initialized @ctx.

How did you find this leak, and what kind of testing was done to
confirm the fix is safe?
