[PATCH] ALSA: ump: Fix double-free of ump->out_cvts on legacy rawmidi attach failure

Message-ID <[email protected]>
If snd_rawmidi_new() fails inside snd_ump_attach_legacy_rawmidi(), the
error path frees ump->out_cvts but leaves the pointer dangling. Since
ump->out_cvts is a field of the long-lived struct snd_ump_endpoint
(not the rawmidi device that failed to be created), it gets freed a
second time later during normal endpoint teardown, in
snd_ump_endpoint_free(), invoked via snd_rawmidi_free()'s
private_free callback when the sound card is released. This results
in a KASAN double-free/invalid-free.

Clear ump->out_cvts to NULL after freeing it on the error path, so
the later unconditional kfree() in snd_ump_endpoint_free() becomes a
harmless no-op.
