ALSA: hrtimer: Fix stall by hrtimer_cancel()
hrtimer_cancel() waits for the completion from the callback, thus it must not be called inside the callback itself. This was already a problem in the past with ALSA hrtimer driver, and the early commit [fcfdebe70759: ALSA: hrtimer - Fix lock-up] tried to address it. However, the previous fix is still insufficient: it may still cause a lockup when the ALSA timer instance reprograms itself in its callback. Then it invokes the start function even in snd_timer_interrupt() that is called in hrtimer callback itself, results in a CPU stall. This is no hypothetical problem but actually triggered by syzkaller fuzzer. This patch tries to fix the issue again. Now we call hrtimer_try_to_cancel() at both start and stop functions so that it won't fall into a deadlock, yet giving some chance to cancel the queue if the functions have been called outside the callback. The proper hrtimer_cancel() is called in anyway at closing, so this should be enough.
