The commit 2d670ea2bd53 ("ALSA: jack: implement software jack injection via debugfs") introduced a debugfs root for each sound card object. The debugfs entry gets removed at the card removal, too, but it turned out that debugfs_remove() is called at a wrong place; it's after the card object gets freed, hence it leads to use-after-free. Fix it by moving the debugfs_remove() at the right place, the destructor of the card device.
