Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: fix a memory leak bug

In hiface_pcm_init(), 'rt' is firstly allocated through kzalloc(). Later
on, hiface_pcm_init_urb() is invoked to initialize 'rt->out_urbs[i]'.
However, if the initialization fails, 'rt' is not deallocated, leading to a
memory leak bug.

To fix the above issue, free 'rt' before returning the error.
