Subject: [PATCH 3.2 063/115] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix double-free in error
 paths after snd_usb_add_audio_stream() call

3.2.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@...hat.com>

commit 836b34a935abc91e13e63053d0a83b24dfb5ea78 upstream.

create_fixed_stream_quirk(), snd_usb_parse_audio_interface() and
create_uaxx_quirk() functions allocate the audioformat object by themselves
and free it upon error before returning. However, once the object is linked
to a stream, it's freed again in snd_usb_audio_pcm_free(), thus it'll be
double-freed, eventually resulting in a memory corruption.

This patch fixes these failures in the error paths by unlinking the audioformat
object before freeing it.

Based on a patch by Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

[Note for stable backports:
 this patch requires the commit 902eb7fd1e4a ('ALSA: usb-audio: Minor
 code cleanup in create_fixed_stream_quirk()')]
