snd_miro_probe is a static function that is only called twice in the file
that defines it. At each call site, its argument is freed using
snd_card_free. Thus, there is no need for snd_miro_probe to call
snd_card_free on its argument on any of its error exit paths.
Because snd_card_free both reads the fields of its argument and kfrees its
argments, the results of the second snd_card_free should be unpredictable.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>

expression list[r.n] xs;

* x = f(xs,a,...);
if (...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; }
