Subject: ALSA: hda - fix use-after-free after module unload

From: Peter Wu <[email protected]>

commit ab58d8cc870ef3f0771c197700441936898d1f1d upstream.

register_vga_switcheroo() sets the PM ops from the hda structure which is freed later in azx_free. Make sure that these ops are cleared.

Caught by KASAN, initially noticed due to a general protection fault.
