If bpf_link_prime() succeeds to allocate new anon file, but then fails to allocate ID for it, link priming is considered to be failed and user is supposed ot be able to directly kfree() bpf_link, because it was never exposed to user-space. But at that point file already keeps a pointer to bpf_link and will eventually call bpf_link_release(), so if bpf_link was kfree()'d by caller, that would lead to use-after-free. Fix this by first allocating ID and only then allocating file. Adding ID to link_idr is ok, because link at that point still doesn't have its ID set, so no user-space process can create a new FD for it.
