commit a45e3d6b13e97506b616980c0f122c3389bcefa4 upstream.

This patch fixes a race between snd_card_file_remove() and
snd_card_disconnect(). When the card is added to shutdown_files list
in snd_card_disconnect(), but it's freed in snd_card_file_remove() at
the same time, the shutdown_files list gets corrupted. The list member
must be freed in snd_card_file_remove() as well.
