ALSA: usb-audio: Fix use-after-free in snd_usb_mixer_free()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: usb-audio: Fix use-after-free in snd_usb_mixer_free()

When snd_usb_create_mixer() fails, snd_usb_mixer_free() frees
mixer->id_elems but the controls already added to the card still
reference the freed memory. Later when snd_card_register() runs,
the OSS mixer layer calls their callbacks and hits a use-after-free read.

Call trace:
  get_ctl_value+0x63f/0x820 sound/usb/mixer.c:411
  get_min_max_with_quirks.isra.0+0x240/0x1f40 sound/usb/mixer.c:1241
  mixer_ctl_feature_info+0x26b/0x490 sound/usb/mixer.c:1381
  snd_mixer_oss_build_test+0x174/0x3a0 sound/core/oss/mixer_oss.c:887
  ...
  snd_card_register+0x4ed/0x6d0 sound/core/init.c:923
  usb_audio_probe+0x5ef/0x2a90 sound/usb/card.c:1025

Fix by calling snd_ctl_remove() for all mixer controls before freeing
id_elems. We save the next pointer first because snd_ctl_remove()
frees the current element.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
