[patch 2/4] fix input layer f_ops abuse

[Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>]

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>

The input layer has an assignment to a live ->fops, just after creating the
fops as a duplicate of another one. Just move this assignment a few lines up to avoid
the race and the assignment to a live fops
