ALSA: isa: Avoid passing NULL to memory allocators
We used to pass NULL to memory allocators for ISA devices due to
historical reasons. But we prefer rather a proper device object to be
assigned, so let's fix it by replacing snd_dma_isa_data() call with
card->dev reference, and kill snd_dma_isa_data() definition.
