During the code change to add the support for devres-managed card instance, we put an explicit kfree(card) call at the error path in snd_card_new(). This is needed for the early error path before the card is initialized with the device, but is rather superfluous and causes a double-free at the error path after the card instance is initialized, as the destructor of the card object already contains a kfree() call.
This patch fixes the double-free situation by removing the superfluous kfree(). Meanwhile we need to call kfree() explicitly for the early error path, so it's added there instead.
