Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: isa: gus: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in snd_gf1_mem_xfree()

In snd_gf1_mem_xfree(), there is an if statement on line 72 and line 74
to check whether block->next is NULL:
if (block->next)

When block->next is NULL, block->next is used on line 84:
block->next->prev = block->prev;

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur in this case.

To fix this possible bug, block->next is checked before using it.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
