ALSA: pcm: Add missing copy ops check before clearing buffer
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864774 [ this is a fix specific to 4.4.y and 4.9.y stable trees; 4.14.y and older already contain the right fix ] The stable 4.4.y and 4.9.y backports of the upstream commit add9d56d ("ALSA: pcm: Avoid possible info leaks from PCM stream buffers") dropped the check of substream->ops->copy_user as copy_user is a new member that isn't present in the older kernels. Although upstream drivers should work without this NULL check, it may cause a regression with a downstream driver that sets some inaccessible address to runtime->dma_area, leading to a crash at worst. Since such drivers must have ops->copy member on older kernels instead of ops->copy_user, this patch adds the missing check of ops->copy for fixing the regression.
