From: Ajit Kumar Pandey <AjitKumar.Pandey@xxxxxxx> When pcm stream is stopped "substream->runtime" pointer will be set to NULL by ALSA core. In case host received an ipc msg from firmware of type IPC_STREAM_POSITION after pcm stream is stopped, there will be kernel NULL pointer exception in ipc_period_elapsed(). This patch fixes it by adding NULL pointer check for "substream->runtime".
