In pcm.c, if the NULL test on pcm is needed, then the dereference should be
after the NULL test.

In dummy.c and ali5451.c, the context of the calls to
snd_card_dummy_new_mixer and snd_ali_free_voice show that dummy and pvoice,
respectively cannot be NULL.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
