From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 949a1ebe8cea7b342085cb6a4946b498306b9493 upstream. The PCM OSS mulaw plugin has a check of the format of the counter part whether it's a linear format. The check is with snd_BUG_ON() that emits WARN_ON() when the debug config is set, and it confuses syzkaller as if it were a serious issue. Let's drop snd_BUG_ON() for avoiding that. While we're at it, correct the error code to a more suitable, EINVAL.
