ALSA: rawmidi: fix oops (use after free) when unloading a driver module

cladisch · tiwai · commit aa73aec6c385 · 2010-10-17T10:11:40.000+02:00
When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed. Afterwards, rmidi and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely to be garbage. (This was introduced by commit 9a1b64c.)
