Subject: ALSA: hda - fix use-after-free after module unload

From: Peter Wu <peter@lekensteyn.nl>

commit ab58d8cc870ef3f0771c197700441936898d1f1d upstream.

register_vga_switcheroo() sets the PM ops from the hda structure which
is freed later in azx_free. Make sure that these ops are cleared.

Caught by KASAN, initially noticed due to a general protection fault.

Fixes: 246efa4a072f ("snd/hda: add runtime suspend/resume on optimus support (v4)")
