Where is the best place for this destructor?

At the end of the snd_scarlett_controls_create function doesn't work due
to opt_*.names being referenced by scarlett_ctl_enum_info afterwards.

Creating a custom private_free callback doesn't seem correct either as I
should only need to free the memory once and not repeatedly. However
with a flag I could check and only free once on the callback.

Thanks,
