The call to rsnd_node_count can potentially return a zero node count
so add a check for this corner case. (Note that the two other calls
to rsnd_node_count in the kernel perform this check, so I think it
justifies adding this). This avoids using a zero nr in a devm_kcalloc
call.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unchecked return value")
Fixes: c413983eb66a ("ASoC: rsnd: adjust disabled module")

Good idea. I'll send a V2. Thanks Dan.
