Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: core: Fix use-after-free in snd_soc_exit()
KASAN reports a use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in device_del+0xb5b/0xc60

It's bacause in snd_soc_init(), snd_soc_util_init() is possble to fail,
but its ret is ignored, which makes soc_dummy_dev unregistered twice.
snd_soc_init()
snd_soc_util_init()
platform_device_register_simple(soc_dummy_dev)
platform_driver_register() # fail
platform_device_unregister(soc_dummy_dev)
platform_driver_register() # success
...
snd_soc_exit()
snd_soc_util_exit()
# soc_dummy_dev will be unregistered for second time
To fix it, handle error and stop snd_soc_init() when util_init() fail.
Also clean debugfs when util_init() or driver_register() fail.
