At the transition to the devres-managed card release, we've put the check of double-free at trigger_card_release(). But this wasn't enough, as the code path calls snd_card_free() again, and it would lead to the doubly snd_card_free() calls. Actually the v1 patch was correct to handle this, but I forgot that corner case and moved the check to the more obvious place as I thought it's clearer. But, as usual, devils live in details. This patch corrects the check of the double-free to the right place, with a bit more comments.
