Subject: [PATCH 5.17 290/772] ALSA: pcm: Check for null pointer of pointer substream before dereferencing it

From: Colin Ian King <colin.i.king@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 011b559be832194f992f73d6c0d5485f5925a10b ]

Pointer substream is being dereferenced on the assignment of pointer card
before substream is being null checked with the macro PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK.
Although PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK calls BUG_ON, it still is useful to perform the
the pointer check before card is assigned.

Fixes: d4cfb30fce03 ("ALSA: pcm: Set per-card upper limit of PCM buffer allocations")
