commit 8d28277c065a974873c6781d44b7bcdcd8fb4e8a upstream.
Although private data of sound card instance is usually allocated in the tail of the instance, drivers in ALSA firewire stack allocate the private data before allocating the instance. In this case, the private data should be released explicitly at .private_free callback of the instance.
This commit fixes memory leak following to the above design.
