Right. After the trigger-stop, the PCM state goes to SETUP, so it
can't be played from that point immediately, thus the race won't
happen.
FWIW, below is the patch I'm going to queue.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
There is a race between retire_capture_urb() and stop_endpoints().
The latter is called at stopping the stream and it sets some endpoint
fields to NULL. But its call is asynchronous, thus the pending
complete callback might get called after these NULL clears, and it
leads the NULL dereference like the above.
The fix is to move the NULL clearance after the synchronization,
i.e. wait_clear_urbs(). This is called at prepare and hw_free
callbacks, so it's assured to be called before the restart of the
stream or the release of the stream.
Also, while we're at it, put the EP_FLAG_RUNNING flag check at the
beginning of snd_complete_urb() to skip the pending complete after the
stream is stopped.
