Coverity spotted the following possible use-after-free condition in dapm_create_or_share_mixmux_kcontrol(): If kcontrol is NULL, and (wname_in_long_name && kcname_in_long_name) validates to true, 'name' will be set to an allocated string, and be freed a few lines later via the 'long_name' alias. 'name', however, is used by dev_err() in case snd_ctl_add() fails. Fix this by adding a jump label that frees 'long_name' at the end of the function.
