From: Bard Liao <yung-chuan.liao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> A copier blob will be only used when a copier is connected in the topology. An ALH copier in playback direction that doesn't have any source means the copier is not connected in the topology. Thus, we don't need to allocate the blob. The patch doesn't do the same test before freeing the blob because the blob is null and it is fine to free null.
