ASoC: soc-link: introduce exit() callback
Some machine drivers allocate or request resources with snd_soc_link_init() phase of the card probe. These resources need to be properly released when removing a card, and this patch suggests a dual exit() callback. The exit() is invoked in soc_remove_pcm_runtime(), which is not completely symmetric with the init() invoked in soc_init_pcm_runtime(). Alternate solutions were considered, e.g. adding a .remove() callback for the platform driver, but that's not symmetrical at all and would be difficult to handle if there are more than one dailink implementing an .init(). We looked also into using .remove_dai_link() callback, but that would also be imbalanced. Note that because of the error handling in snd_soc_bind_card(), which jumps to probe_end, there is no way to guarantee the exit() is invoked with resources allocated in the init(). Prior to releasing those resources, implementations of the exit() callback shall check the resources are valid.
