ALSA: usb: Fix UAF at delayed release of MIDI2 EPs
The recent fix for UAF in ump_to_endpoint() caused another UAF because
it tries to dereference the UMP endpoint object, but this might be
executed at a delayed context where the endpoint has been already
released.
Add private_free to clear the associated data for avoiding the further
dereference for delayed releases.
