[PATCH] ALSA: hda: Fix missing pointer check in hda_component_manager_init function

From: Denis Arefev

Date: Tue Oct 07 2025 - 04:40:17 EST


The __component_match_add function may assign the 'matchptr' pointer
the value ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM), which will subsequently be dereferenced.

The call stack leading to the error looks like this:

hda_component_manager_init
|-> component_match_add
|-> component_match_add_release
|-> __component_match_add ( ... ,**matchptr, ... )
|-> *matchptr = ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); // assign
|-> component_master_add_with_match( ... match)
|-> component_match_realloc(match, match->num); // dereference

Add IS_ERR() check to prevent the crash.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
