posix_timer: Fix error path in timer_create
Move CLOCK_DISPATCH(which_clock, timer_create, (new_timer)) after all posible EFAULT erros. *_timer_create may allocate/get resources. (for example posix_cpu_timer_create does get_task_struct) [ tglx: fold the remove crappy comment patch into this ] Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
