ALSA: info: Drop WARN_ON() from buffer NULL sanity check
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889928 commit 60379ba0 upstream. snd_info_get_line() has a sanity check of NULL buffer -- both buffer itself being NULL and buffer->buffer being NULL. Basically both checks are valid and necessary, but the problem is that it's with snd_BUG_ON() macro that triggers WARN_ON(). The latter condition (NULL buffer->buffer) can be met arbitrarily by user since the buffer is allocated at the first write, so it means that user can trigger WARN_ON() at will. This patch addresses it by simply moving buffer->buffer NULL check out of snd_BUG_ON() so that spurious WARNING is no longer triggered.
