ALSA: usb-audio: Fix a memory leak bug
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832661 commit cb517359 upstream. In parse_audio_selector_unit(), the string array 'namelist' is allocated through kmalloc_array(), and each string pointer in this array, i.e., 'namelist[]', is allocated through kmalloc() in the following for loop. Then, a control instance 'kctl' is created by invoking snd_ctl_new1(). If an error occurs during the creation process, the string array 'namelist', including all string pointers in the array 'namelist[]', should be freed, before the error code ENOMEM is returned. However, the current code does not free 'namelist[]', resulting in memory leaks. To fix the above issue, free all string pointers 'namelist[]' in a loop.
