Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix UAF decrement if card has no live
 interfaces in card.c
References: CVE-2018-19824,bsc#1118152
Git-commit: 5f8cf712582617d523120df67d392059eaf2fc4b
Patch-mainline: v4.20-rc6

If a USB sound card reports 0 interfaces, an error condition is triggered
and the function usb_audio_probe errors out. In the error path, there was a
use-after-free vulnerability where the memory object of the card was first
freed, followed by a decrement of the number of active chips. Moving the
decrement above the atomic_dec fixes the UAF.

[ The original problem was introduced in 3.1 kernel, while it was
  developed in a different form.  The Fixes tag below indicates the
  original commit but it doesn't mean that the patch is applicable
  cleanly. -- tiwai ]
