[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: Fix use after free

Freeing the current list element while iterating over the list will cause a use
after free since the iterator function will still use the current element to
look up the next. Use list_for_each_safe() and remove the element from the list
before freeing it to avoid this.
