The rawmidi object that is created via snd_rawmidi_new() is managed
via snd_device list, and it's traversed at snd_card_disconnect() and
snd_card_free() calls. It's something like devm-stuff (but
implemented in a different way). The midi_list is an explicit list
for the USB MIDI driver, and it's an individual one from the device
list.
