ALSA: core: Add snd_card_free_on_error() helper

This is a small helper function to handle the error path more easily
when an error happens during the probe for the device with the
device-managed card.  Since devres releases in the reverser order of
the creations, usually snd_card_free() gets called at the last in the
probe error path unless it already reached snd_card_register() calls.
Due to this nature, when a driver expects the resource releases in
card->private_free, this might be called too lately.

As a workaround, one should call the probe like:

 static int __some_probe(...) { // do real probe.... }

 static int some_probe(...)
 {
return snd_card_free_on_error(dev, __some_probe(dev, ...));
 }

so that the snd_card_free() is called explicitly at the beginning of
the error path from the probe.

This function will be used in the upcoming fixes to address the
regressions by devres usages.
