adding the pm_qos_remove in the snd_pcm_release_substream may be all
thats needed to fix the problem. If the snd_cpm is unloading its module
without removing the qos request from the list then the very next time
any pm_qos operation requiring a list walk like adding or removing an
element, would trigger a failure.

i.e. the second hunk of the change in the above bugzilla should be all
that is needed.
