commitf1a7941243("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
