I'm slightly confused. How will you release rcd->groups?

assign_ctxt()
 -> setup_base_ctxt()
   -> hfi1_alloc_ctxt_rcv_groups()
      ,,,
      rcd->groups = kzalloc...
      ...
   -> init_user_ctxt() <-- fails and leaves fd->uctx == NULL


...
hfi1_file_close()
  struct hfi1_ctxtdata *uctxt = fdata->uctxt;
  ...
  if (!uctxt)             <-- This is our case
     goto done; 
  ...

done:
  if (refcount_dec_and_test(&dd->user_refcount))
     complete(&dd->user_comp);

  cleanup_srcu_struct(&fdata->pq_srcu);
  kfree(fdata);
  return 0;
