IB/uverbs: Move the FD uobj type struct file allocation to alloc_commit
Allocating the struct file during alloc_begin creates this strange asymmetry with IDR, where the FD has two krefs pointing at it during the pre-commit phase. In particular this makes the abort process for FD very strange and confusing. For instance abort currently calls the type's destroy_object twice, and the fops release once if abort is done. This is very counter intuitive. No fops should be called until alloc_commit succeeds, and destroy_object should only ever be called once. Moving the struct file allocation to the alloc_commit is now simple, as we already support failure of rdma_alloc_commit_uobject, with all the required rollback pieces. This creates an understandable symmetry with IDR and simplifies/fixes the abort handling for FD types. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
