ALSA: Use del_timer_sync() before freeing timer
The current code for freeing the emux timer is extremely dangerous:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
snd_emux_timer_callback()
snd_emux_free()
spin_lock(&emu->voice_lock)
del_timer(&emu->tlist); <-- returns immediately
spin_unlock(&emu->voice_lock);
[..]
kfree(emu);
spin_lock(&emu->voice_lock);
[BOOM!]
Instead just use del_timer_sync() which will wait for the timer to finish
before continuing. No need to check if the timer is active or not when
doing so.
This doesn't fix the race of a possible re-arming of the timer, but at
least it won't use the data that has just been freed.
