ALSA: seq: Fix yet another races among ALSA timer accesses
ALSA sequencer may open/close and control ALSA timer instance
dynamically either via sequencer events or direct ioctls. These are
done mostly asynchronously, and it may call still some timer action
like snd_timer_start() while another is calling snd_timer_close().
Since the instance gets removed by snd_timer_close(), it may lead to
a use-after-free.
This patch tries to address such a race by protecting each
snd_timer_*() call via the existing spinlock and also by avoiding the
access to timer during close call.
