Subject: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix use-after-free of usb_device at disconnect
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 6ff1a25318ebf688ef9593fe09cd449f6fb4ad31 upstream.
The usb-audio driver implements the deferred device disconnection for
the device in use. In this mode, the disconnection callback returns
immediately while the actual ALSA card object removal happens later
when all files get closed. As Shuah reported, this code flow,
however, leads to a use-after-free, detected by KASAN:

It's the code trying to clear drvdata of the assigned usb_device where
the usb_device itself was already released in usb_release_dev() after
the disconnect callback.
This patch fixes it by checking whether the code path is via the
disconnect callback, i.e. chip->shutdown flag is set.
