How about something like this:
fix memory leak in the shared device context creation
> 
> In shared device context creation, there are two validations after MR
> btree memory allocation.

> When one of them fails, the MR btree memory was not freed what caused a

> Free it.
How about changing it to something like this:

In shared device context creation, there is a missing validation when one of
the btree memory allocation fails that will cause a memory leak.

This adds a proper check to clean resources in case of failure.
