[PATCH] usb: gadget: u_audio: Fix use-after-free on sound card disconnect

Message-ID <[email protected]>
g_audio_cleanup() invokes snd_card_free_when_closed() to initiate sound
card teardown and immediately frees the underlying struct snd_uac_chip
context. However, snd_card_free_when_closed() returns asynchronously
while ALSA control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace.

When userspace control applications access or close these open file
descriptors, kctl callbacks attempt to dereference kctl->private_data
pointing to &uac->c_prm or &uac->p_prm within the freed uac structure,
resulting in a use-after-free (UAF) memory corruption.

Fix this issue by deferring the destruction of struct snd_uac_chip until
all references to the ALSA sound card are released. Register a custom
card->private_free callback (u_audio_card_free) during g_audio_setup()
that frees uac and its associated playback/capture request and ring
buffers only when the sound card reference count drops to zero.

Fixes: 6c67ed9ad9b8 ("usb: gadget: u_audio: don't let userspace block driver unbind")
