alsactl: don't free a card pointing NULL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
alsactl distributed as part of Fedora 40 got a SEGV:

    # journalctl
    ...
    May 17 00:55:58 dev64.localdomain kernel: alsactl[1923]: segfault at 28 ip 00005600705b3373 sp 00007ffd9712bef0 error 4 in alsactl[5600705af000+13000] likely on CPU 5 (core 8, socket 0)
    ...

As the following output of the debug session, card_free() tried a card
pointing NULL:
