Exploitability: 1.8 / Impact: 3.6

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Harden loops for looking up ALH copiers
Other, non DAI copier widgets could have the same stream name (sname) as
the ALH copier and in that case the copier->data is NULL, no alh_data is
attached, which could lead to NULL pointer dereference.
We could check for this NULL pointer in sof_ipc4_prepare_copier_module()
and avoid the crash, but a similar loop in sof_ipc4_widget_setup_comp_dai()
will miscalculate the ALH device count, causing broken audio.
The correct fix is to harden the matching logic by making sure that the
1. widget is a DAI widget - so dai = w->private is valid
2. the dai (and thus the copier) is ALH copier
