Subject: [PATCH] fs/eventfd.c: Check error number after calling ida_simple_get

As the possible failure of the allocation, the ida_simple_get() will
return error number.
And then ctx->id will be printed in eventfd_show_fdinfo().
Therefore, it should be better to check it and return error if fails,
like the other allocation.

Fixes: b556db17b0e7 ("eventfd: present id to userspace via fdinfo")
