We could also free it up in the error path, with an if (ret) kfree(ctx);
and remove the kfree which is in the "if (IS_ERR(ctx->fh.m2m_ctx))" check.

But I think that doesn't gain much really. So this is ok by me... If you
prefer that method, then feel free to submit a v2,

Otherwise I think this is fine:
