3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Srinivas Kandagatla srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org
commit ff2faf1289c1f81b5b26b9451dd1c2006aac8db8 upstream.
dapm_kcontrol_data is freed as part of dapm_kcontrol_free(), leaving the paths pointer dangling in the list.
This leads to system crash when we try to unload and reload sound card. I hit this bug during ADSP crash/reboot test case on Dragon board DB410c.
Without this patch, on SLAB Poisoning enabled build, kernel crashes with "BUG kmalloc-128 (Tainted: G W ): Poison overwritten"
