The task creation path allocates resources and installs file descriptors
before copying the task information back to userspace.
If copy_to_user() fails, the function returns -EFAULT without releasing
the allocated task, DMA-BUF references, or file descriptors. This
leaves the task registered and leaks resources.
Delay fd_install() until copy_to_user() succeeds. If the copy fails,
release the reserved file descriptors and their DMA-BUF references,
then free the task using snd_compr_task_free_one().
This ensures that task resources are properly released when copying
task information to userspace fails.

[Severity: Low]
This fixes a resource leak in the task creation path introduced by commit
04177158cf98 ("ALSA: compress_offload: introduce accel operation mode").
Should this include:
