[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid calling usb_autopm_put_interface() at disconnect

ALSA PCM may still have a leftover instance after disconnection and
it delays its release.  The problem is that the PCM close code path of
USB-audio driver has a call of snd_usb_autosuspend().  This involves
with the call of usb_autopm_put_interface() and it may lead to a
kernel Oops due to the NULL object like:

We have already a check of disconnection in snd_usb_autoresume(), but
the check is missing its counterpart.  The fix is just to put the same
check in snd_usb_autosuspend(), too.
