[PATCH v2] ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Fix pin format leak in process widget setup

[PATCH v2] ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Fix pin format leak in process widget setup

[Baoli Zhang]

sof_ipc4_widget_setup_comp_process() allocates the input and output pin
format arrays via sof_ipc4_get_audio_fmt(). When the following
sof_ipc4_widget_setup_msg() fails, e.g. because the firmware does not
provide a module matching the widget UUID, the error path jumps to the
'err' label, which frees the process struct and clears swidget->private
but skips sof_ipc4_free_audio_fmt(). The arrays are then unreachable and
are reported by kmemleak:

    sof_ipc4_get_audio_fmt+0xc9/0x420 [snd_sof]
    sof_ipc4_widget_setup_comp_process+0x8e/0x200 [snd_sof]
    snd_sof_load_topology+0x71a/0x840 [snd_sof]
    sof_pcm_probe+0x77/0x120 [snd_sof]
    snd_soc_component_probe+0x21/0x60 [snd_soc_core]
    ...

Jump to 'free_available_fmt' instead, as the other process widget error
paths after sof_ipc4_get_audio_fmt() already do.

The other IPC4 widget setup functions (pga, mixer, src, asrc) free the
audio formats in their common error label and are not affected.
