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.

Fixes: ec2d0c04624b ("posix-timers: Provide a mechanism to allocate a given timer ID")
