Do you need to malloc the context (a pointer) ?
I don't think so.
Remove the line?
That won't work, but you can do
      HMAC_CTX context;

and use&context instead of context.
Why would that be any different?

When OpenSSL gets a HMAC_CTX*, it shouldn't care if it points to
memory on the stack or the heap, as long as that memory is
sizeof(HMAC_CTX) big and maybe appropriately initialized.
