In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: core: Fix use-after-free in snd_soc_exit() KASAN reports a use-after-free: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in device_del+0xb5b/0xc60

</TASK> It's bacause in snd_soc_init(), snd_soc_util_init() is possble to fail,
but its ret is ignored, which makes soc_dummy_dev unregistered twice. snd_soc_init() snd_soc_util_init() platform_device_register_simple(soc_dummy_dev) platform_driver_register() # fail platform_device_unregister(soc_dummy_dev) platform_driver_register() # success
...
snd_soc_exit() snd_soc_util_exit() # soc_dummy_dev will be unregistered for second time To fix it, handle error and stop snd_soc_init() when util_init() fail.
Also clean debugfs when util_init() or driver_register() fail.
