[PATCH v2] ALSA: hda: Do not unset preset when cleaning up codec

[Cezary Rojewski <cezary.rojewski@intel.com>]

Several functions that take part in codec's initialization and removal
are re-used by ASoC codec drivers implementations. Drivers mimic the
behavior of hda_codec_driver_probe/remove() found in
sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c with their component->probe/remove() instead.

One of the reasons for that is the expectation of
snd_hda_codec_device_new() to receive a valid pointer to an instance of
struct snd_card. This expectation can be met only once sound card
components probing commences.

As ASoC sound card may be unbound without codec device being actually
removed from the system, unsetting ->preset in
snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind() interferes with module unload -> load
scenario causing null-ptr-deref. Preset is assigned only once, during
device/driver matching whereas ASoC codec driver's module reloading may
occur several times throughout the lifetime of an audio stack.

Changes in v2:
- relocated the operation to routines found in hda_bind.c rather than
  just removing it from the cleanup function


This is a continuation of a discussion that begun in the middle of 2022
[1] and was part of a larger series addressing several HDAudio topics.

Single rmmod on ASoC's codec driver module is enough to cause a panic.
Given our results, no regression shows up with modprobe/rmmod on
snd_hda_intel side with this patch applied.
