nfsd: fix memory leak in nfsd_create_serv error paths

Browse Source 
When nfsd_create_serv() calls percpu_ref_init() to initialize
nn->nfsd_net_ref, it allocates both a percpu reference counter
and a percpu_ref_data structure (64 bytes). However, if the
function fails later due to svc_create_pooled() returning NULL
or svc_bind() returning an error, these allocations are not
cleaned up, resulting in a memory leak.

The leak manifests as:
- Unreferenced percpu allocation (8 bytes per CPU)
- Unreferenced percpu_ref_data structure (64 bytes)

Fix this by adding percpu_ref_exit() calls in both error paths
to properly clean up the percpu_ref_init() allocations.

This patch fixes the percpu_ref leak in nfsd_create_serv() seen
as an auxiliary leak in syzbot report 099461f8558eb0a1f4f3; the
prepare_creds() and vsock-related leaks in the same report
remain to be addressed separately.
