Subject: [PATCH 3.16 109/366] ASoC: dapm: delete dapm_kcontrol_data paths
 list before freeing it

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

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

From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@...aro.org>

commit ff2faf1289c1f81b5b26b9451dd1c2006aac8db8 upstream.

dapm_kcontrol_data is freed as part of dapm_kcontrol_free(), leaving the
paths pointer dangling in the list.

This leads to system crash when we try to unload and reload sound card.
I hit this bug during ADSP crash/reboot test case on Dragon board DB410c.

Without this patch, on SLAB Poisoning enabled build, kernel crashes with
"BUG kmalloc-128 (Tainted: G        W        ): Poison overwritten"
