Subject: ASoC: soc-compress.c: fix NULL dereference

commit d3268a40d4b19ff7bee23f52eabbc4e96bb685e8 upstream.

In soc_new_compress() when rtd->dai_link->dynamic is set, we create the pcm
substreams with this call:

   ret = snd_pcm_new_internal(rtd->card->snd_card, new_name, num,
                                   1, 0, &be_pcm);

which passes 0 as capture_count leading to

   be_pcm->streams[SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE].substream

being NULL, hence when trying to set rtd a few lines below we get an oops.

Fix by using rtd->dai_link->dpcm_playback and rtd->dai_link->dpcm_capture as
playback_count and capture_count to snd_pcm_new_internal().
