ALSA: timer: Fix link corruption due to double start or stop
[ Upstream commit f784beb7 ] Although ALSA timer code got hardening for races, it still causes use-after-free error. This is however rather a corrupted linked list, not actually the concurrent accesses. Namely, when timer start is triggered twice, list_add_tail() is called twice, too. This ends up with the link corruption and triggers KASAN error. The simplest fix would be replacing list_add_tail() with list_move_tail(), but fundamentally it's the problem that we don't check the double start/stop correctly. So, the right fix here is to add the proper checks to snd_timer_start() and snd_timer_stop() (and their variants).
