[PATCH 3.18 36/45] ASoC: Fix use-after-free at card unregistration

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 4efda5f2130da033aeedc5b3205569893b910de2 upstream.

soc_cleanup_card_resources() call snd_card_free() at the last of its
procedure.  This turned out to lead to a use-after-free.
PCM runtimes have been already removed via soc_remove_pcm_runtimes(),
while it's dereferenced later in soc_pcm_free() called via
snd_card_free().

The fix is simple: just move the snd_card_free() call to the beginning
of the whole procedure.  This also gives another benefit: it
guarantees that all operations have been shut down before actually
releasing the resources, which was racy until now.
