ocfs2: publish the filecheck owner before adding sysfs attributes

ocfs2_filecheck_create_sysfs() initializes the filecheck allocation before
calling kobject_init_and_add(), but assigns entry->fs_fcheck only after
that call returns.  The default attribute group can already be visible
while registration is in progress.  A concurrent read can therefore enter
ocfs2_filecheck_attr_show() with a NULL fs_fcheck and try to lock its
fc_lock.

Assign the initialized owner before adding the kobject, so every activated
attribute has valid state.  Clear the pointer when addition fails,
preserving the existing teardown guard and error cleanup.

A controlled probe-instrumented test kernel with the original OCFS2
registration ordering produced this Oops during a concurrent sysfs read:
