Subject: [ 43/82] ALSA: usb-audio: fix rate_list memory leak

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

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

From: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@...isch.de>

commit 5cd5d7c44990658df6ab49f6253c39617c53b03d upstream.

The array of sample rates is reallocated every time when opening
the PCM device, but was freed only once when unplugging the device.
