In the implementation of snd_trident_create(), the allocated trident is
leaked if snd_trident_mixer() fails. Release via snd_trident_free().
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

No, this patch would result in double-free.
The manual release of trident object isn't needed once after it gets
added via snd_device_new(). Then it'll be automatically released at
the error path (via snd_trident_dev_free()).
thanks,
Takashi
