[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH 3.2 76/94] ALSA: timer: Protect the whole snd_timer_close() with open race

3.2.97-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de

commit 9984d1b5835ca29fc7025186a891ee7398d21cc7 upstream.

In order to make the open/close more robust, widen the register_mutex protection over the whole snd_timer_close() function. Also, the close procedure is slightly shuffled to be in the safer order, as well as a few code refactoring.
