[PATCH 5.15 046/917] ALSA: hda: Free card instance properly at probe errors

commit 39173303c83859723dab32c2abfb97296d6af3bf upstream.

The recent change in hda-intel driver to allow repeated probes
surfaced a problem that has been hidden until; the probe process in
the work calls azx_free() at the error path, and this skips the card
free process that eventually releases codec instances. As a result,
we get a kernel WARNING like:

snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Cannot probe codecs, giving up
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 186 at sound/hda/hdac_bus.c:73
....

For fixing this, we need to call snd_card_free() instead of
azx_free(). Additionally, the device drvdata has to be cleared, as
the driver binding itself is still active. Then the PM and other
driver callbacks will ignore the procedure.
