Embedding the ctl_dev in the snd_card object may result in UAF when the delayed kobj release is used; at the delayed kobj release, it still accesses the struct device itself while the card memory (that embeds the struct device) may be already gone. As a workaround, detach the struct device from the card object by allocating via the new snd_device_alloc() helper. The rest are just replacing ctl_dev access to the pointer. This is based on the fix Curtis posted initially. In this patch, the changes are split and use the new helper function instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
