    sound: fix a memory leak bug · c7cd7c74

    In sound_insert_unit(), the controlling structure 's' is allocated through
    kmalloc(). Then it is added to the sound driver list by invoking
    __sound_insert_unit(). Later on, if __register_chrdev() fails, 's' is
    removed from the list through __sound_remove_unit(). If 'index' is not less
    than 0, -EBUSY is returned to indicate the error. However, 's' is not
    deallocated on this execution path, leading to a memory leak bug.
    
    To fix the above issue, free 's' before -EBUSY is returned.
