Nguyen Ngoc Thang 0b7bd20f63 ALSA: caiaq: unregister the input device when probe fails
setup_card() registers the input device, whose name and phys point into
struct snd_usb_caiaqdev, and then goes on to snd_card_register() and
snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(). If either fails, snd_probe() calls
snd_card_free(), which frees the device state but leaves the input
device registered: card_free() only clears the pointer, and the input
device is unregistered from snd_disconnect() alone. Reading its "uevent"
attribute afterwards dereferences freed memory:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in string+0x4a9/0x4f0

Unregister the input device on the probe error path, as
snd_disconnect() does. snd_usb_caiaq_input_disconnect() is a no-op when
no input device was registered.

Reproduced with a raw-gadget Audio Kontrol 1 and a temporary hack that
makes snd_usb_caiaq_control_init() fail.
