Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check:
tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c:3493
bpf_prog_load_xattr() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'attr'
(see line 3483)
3479 int bpf_prog_load_xattr(const struct bpf_prog_load_attr *attr,
3480 struct bpf_object **pobj, int *prog_fd)
3481 {
3482 struct bpf_object_open_attr open_attr = {
3483 .file = attr->file,
3484 .prog_type = attr->prog_type,
^^^^^^
3485 };
At the head of function, it directly access 'attr' without checking
if it's NULL pointer. This patch moves the values assignment after
validating 'attr' and 'attr->file'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
