nfsd: safer initialization order in find_file()

The alloc_init_file() first adds a file to the hash and then
initializes its fi_inode, fi_id and fi_had_conflict.

The uninitialized fi_inode could thus be erroneously checked by
the find_file(), so move the hash insertion lower.

The client_mutex should prevent this race in practice; however, we
eventually hope to make less use of the client_mutex, so the ordering
here is an accident waiting to happen.

I didn't find whether the same can be true for two other fields,
but the common sense tells me it's better to initialize an object
before putting it into a global hash table :)
