ALSA: emu8000: Fix a use after free in snd_emu8000_create_mixer
Our code analyzer reported a uaf. In snd_emu8000_create_mixer, the callee snd_ctl_add(..,emu->controls[i]) calls snd_ctl_add_replace(.., kcontrol,..). Inside snd_ctl_add_replace(), if error happens, kcontrol will be freed by snd_ctl_free_one(kcontrol). Then emu->controls[i] points to a freed memory, and the execution comes to __error branch of snd_emu8000_create_mixer. The freed emu->controls[i] is used in snd_ctl_remove(card, emu->controls[i]). My patch set emu->controls[i] to NULL if snd_ctl_add() failed to avoid the uaf.
