Eslam Khafagy f417f44524 posix-timers: Plug potential memory leak in do_timer_create()
[ Upstream commit e0fd4d42e2 ]

When posix timer creation is set to allocate a given timer ID and the
access to the user space value faults, the function terminates without
freeing the already allocated posix timer structure.

Move the allocation after the user space access to cure that.

[ tglx: Massaged change log ]

Fixes: ec2d0c0462 ("posix-timers: Provide a mechanism to allocate a given timer ID")
