Subject: ASoC: cht_bsw_rt5645: Fix leftover kmalloc

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit a823a17981a73faa115bc0f7eda0190763075e2c upstream.

cht_bsw_rt5645 driver allocates the own codec_id string but doesn't
release it.  For simplicity, put the string in cht_mc_private; then
the string is allocated in a shot and released altogether.
