[PATCH 1/3] ALSA: core: Make snd_card_disconnect() return void

[Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All callers from other files ignore the return value of this function.
And it can only ever return a non-zero value if the parameter card is NULL.

Move the check for card being NULL into snd_card_free_when_closed() to keep
the previous behaviour. Note this isn't necessary for
snd_card_disconnect_sync() because if card was NULL in there the dereference
of card for dev_err() would oops the kernel. Replace this by an oops
triggered by the dereference of card for spin_lock_irq().
