[PATCH 1/3] ALSA: control: Use scoped cleanup for user control buffers

["Cássio Gabriel" <cassiogabrielcontato@gmail.com>]

User-defined control TLV data and enum names are copied from user space
with vmemdup_user() before being installed in the user_element. Until
ownership is transferred, these temporary buffers have to be released on
every validation exit.

Use __free(kvfree) for the temporary buffers and no_free_ptr() when
ownership is transferred to the user_element. This removes the manual
kvfree() calls from the unchanged-TLV and enum-name validation paths,
makes the ownership hand-off explicit, and keeps the existing allocation
accounting and ABI unchanged.

No functional change is intended.
