[PATCH] ALSA: fix possible memory leak in snd_mixer_oss_build_input()

From: Wei Yongjun
Date: Sun Sep 02 2012 - 10:10:43 EST


From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

uinfo has been allocated in this function and should be
freed before leaving from the error handling cases.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.
