Subject: ALSA: hda: fix possible NULL dereference

From: Markus Osterhoff <[email protected]>

commit c7e69ae6b4ff49edf50180c0a32f3dd9d7967e31 upstream.

After a for-loop was replaced by list_for_each_entry, see Commit bbbc7e8502c9 ("ALSA: hda - Allocate hda_pcm objects dynamically"), Commit 751e2216899c ("ALSA: hda: fix possible null dereference"), a possible NULL pointer dereference has been introduced; this patch adds the NULL check on pcm->pcm, while leaving a potentially superfluous check on pcm itself untouched.
