tools: bpftool: fix crash on bad parameters with JSON
If bad or unrecognised parameters are specified after JSON output is
requested, `usage()` will try to output null JSON object before the
writer is created.
To prevent this, create the writer as soon as the `--json` option is
parsed.
Fixes: 004b45c0e51a ("tools: bpftool: provide JSON output for all possible commands")
