ALSA PCM core recently introduced a new managed PCM buffer allocation
mode that does allocate / free automatically at hw_params and
hw_free. However, it overlooked the code path directly calling
hw_free PCM ops at releasing the PCM substream, and it may result in a
memory leak as spotted by syzkaller when no buffer preallocation is
used (e.g. vmalloc buffer).
This patch papers over it with a slight refactoring. The hw_free ops
call and relevant tasks are unified in a new helper function, and call
it from both places.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
