[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/8] ALSA: core: Fix possible memory leaks at error path in info.c

[Takashi Iwai]

snd_info_init() just returns an error without releasing the previously
assigned resources at error path.  The assigned proc and info entries
have to be released properly.

While we are at it, refactor the code a bit, too.
