Subject: ASoC: pcm: free path list before exiting from error conditions

commit e4ad1accb28d0ed8cea6f12395d58686ad344ca7 upstream.

dpcm_path_get() allocates dynamic memory to hold path list.
Corresponding dpcm_path_put() must be called to free the memory.
dpcm_path_put() is not called under several error conditions.
This leads to memory leak.
