[PATCH] ASoC: core: add snd_BUG_ON() check in devm_snd_soc_register_card()

card is dereferenced immediately, so passing NULL results in a NULL
pointer dereference. A NULL dev is silently accepted, defeating the
documented automatic-unregistration semantics of this devm variant.

Add snd_BUG_ON() checks on both arguments to catch API misuse early.
