sound: Fix esoteric double free in the dummy sound driver.
The dummy driver uses runtime->private_free but still frees
its pcm structures on error paths.

This is esoteric because the error paths in question are
unreachable. Thus the bug is only a problem when someone
copies this code into other drivers.
