If __getattr__ raises exception within a contextlib.context_manager, it creates a reference cycle and prevents the frame from being garbage collected. This only happens if the exception is raised inside a context manager inside __getattr__. It doesn't happen if there's no context manager.
Repro:
```
import contextlib
import gc
@contextlib.contextmanager
def ct():
yield
class A(object):
def __getattr__(self, name):
with ct():
raise AttributeError()
def f():
a = A()
hasattr(a, 'notexist')
gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK)
f()
gc.collect()
```
It also doesn't happen if we catch the exception outside of the context manager and re-raise it:
```
def __getattr__(self, name):
try:
with ct():
raise AttributeError()
except:
raise
```
