[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/2] hda - fix ELD memory leak

memset(eld) clears eld->proc_entry which will leak the struct
snd_info_entry when unloading the module.

Fix it by
- remove memset(eld)
- set eld->eld_valid to true _after_ all eld fields have been filled
- don't access the other eld fields when (eld->eld_valid == false)
