bpf, libbpf, smatch: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

[ Upstream commit 33bae185f74d49a0d7b1bfaafb8e959efce0f243 ]

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'.
