Commit 0bd2ac3dae74 ("ASoC: Remove CODEC pointer from snd_soc_dapm_context")
introduced regression to snd_soc_dapm_new_controls() when registering a card
with card->dapm_widgets set. Call chain is:

    snd_soc_register_card()
    -> snd_soc_instantiate_card()
       -> snd_soc_dapm_new_controls()
          -> snd_soc_dapm_new_control()

Null pointer dereference occurs since card->dapm context doesn't have
associated component. Fix this by setting widget codec pointer
conditionally.
