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.
