[PATCH] Handle init_new_context failures

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

If init_new_context fails we definitely do not want to call mmput, because
that will call destroy_context against an uninitialised context.  Instead
we should back out what we did in init_mm.  Fixes some weird failures on
ppc64 when running a fork bomb.
