media: media-request: Fix crash if memory allocation fails



Syzbot reports a NULL-ptr deref in the kref_put() call:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in media_request_put drivers/media/mc/mc-request.c:81 [inline]

What led to this crash was an injected memory allocation failure in
media_request_alloc():

FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.

When that allocation fails, filp->private_data is left uninitialized
which media_request_close() does not expect and crashes.

To avoid this, reorder media_request_alloc() such that
allocating the struct file happens as the last step thus
media_request_close() will no longer get called for a partially created
media request.
