RDMA/uverbs: Drop restrack ref on ib_init_ucontext() failure in GET_CONTEXT
The UVERBS_METHOD_GET_CONTEXT handler allocates the ucontext via ib_alloc_ucontext(), which calls rdma_restrack_new() (initialising the kref to 1) and rdma_restrack_set_name(NULL), the latter attaching the current task and taking a task_struct reference. When ib_init_ucontext() subsequently fails, the error path only does: kfree(attrs->context); attrs->context = NULL; without first calling rdma_restrack_put() on &attrs->context->res. The kref therefore never reaches zero, restrack_release() is never invoked, and put_task_struct() is never called, so the task_struct reference taken during set_name is leaked permanently. A local user with access to an RDMA device can repeat this path (e.g. by hitting an RDMA cgroup limit or supplying invalid ucaps) and leak one task_struct reference per attempt, eventually preventing those processes from being reaped or exhausting memory. The legacy ib_uverbs_get_context() path already handles this correctly at its err_ucontext label, where rdma_restrack_put() precedes kfree(). Mirror that ordering here.
