ALSA: seq: Fix a potential UAF by wrong private_free call order
John Keeping reported and posted a patch for a potential UAF in rawmidi sequencer destruction: the snd_rawmidi_dev_seq_free() may be called after the associated rawmidi object got already freed. After a deeper look, it turned out that the bug is rather the incorrect private_free call order for a snd_seq_device. The snd_seq_device private_free gets called at the release callback of the sequencer device object, while this was rather expected to be executed at the snd_device call chains that runs at the beginning of the whole card-free procedure. It's been broken since the rewrite of sequencer-device binding (although it hasn't surfaced because the sequencer device release happens usually right along with the card device release). This patch corrects the private_free call to be done in the right place, at snd_seq_device_dev_free().
