[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] ALSA: hda: fix general protection fault in azx_runtime_idle

Fix a corner case between PCI device driver remove callback and
runtime PM idle callback.

Following sequence of events can happen:
  - at azx_create, context is allocated with devm_kzalloc() and
    stored as pci_set_drvdata()
  - user-space requests to unbind audio driver
  - dd.c:__device_release_driver() calls PCI remove
  - pci-driver.c:pci_device_remove() calls the audio
    driver azx_remove() callback and this is completed
  - pci-driver.c:pm_runtime_put_sync() leads to a call
    to rpm_idle() which again calls azx_runtime_idle()
  - the azx context object, as returned by dev_get_drvdata(),
    is no longer valid
  -> access fault in azx_runtime_idle when executing
	struct snd_card *card = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
	chip = card->private_data;
	if (chip->disabled || hda->init_failed)

This was discovered by i915_module_load test with 5.15.0 based
linux-next tree.

Fix the issue by setting drvdata to NULL at end of azx_remove().
