When nfsd_create_serv() calls percpu_ref_init() to initialize
nn->nfsd_net_ref, it allocates both a percpu reference counter
and a percpu_ref_data structure (64 bytes). However, if the
function fails later due to svc_create_pooled() returning NULL
or svc_bind() returning an error, these allocations are not
cleaned up, resulting in a memory leak.
The leak manifests as:
- Unreferenced percpu allocation (8 bytes per CPU)
- Unreferenced percpu_ref_data structure (64 bytes)
Fix this by adding percpu_ref_exit() calls in both error paths
to properly clean up the percpu_ref_init() allocations.
This patch fixes the percpu_ref leak in nfsd_create_serv() seen
as an auxiliary leak in syzbot report 099461f8558eb0a1f4f3; the
prepare_creds() and vsock-related leaks in the same report
remain to be addressed separately.

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 reStructuredText 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.
