ALSA: seq: Fix a potential UAF by wrong private_free call order

commit 1f8763c59c4ec6254d629fe77c0a52220bd907aa upstream.

John Keeping reported and posted a patch for a potential UAF in
rawmidi sequencer destruction: the snd_rawmidi_dev_seq_free() may be
called after the associated rawmidi object got already freed.
After a deeper look, it turned out that the bug is rather the
incorrect private_free call order for a snd_seq_device.  The
snd_seq_device private_free gets called at the release callback of the
sequencer device object, while this was rather expected to be executed
at the snd_device call chains that runs at the beginning of the whole
card-free procedure.  It's been broken since the rewrite of
sequencer-device binding (although it hasn't surfaced because the
sequencer device release happens usually right along with the card
device release).

This patch corrects the private_free call to be done in the right
place, at snd_seq_device_dev_free().
