[alsa-devel] [patch] ALSA: rawmidi: cleanup the get next midi device ioctl

I'm doing an audit to find integer overflows and my static checker
complained that in the original code "device + 1" could overflow.  The
overflow is harmless, but it's still worth cleaning up.  The other thing
that I noticed is that if you pass in a device which is higher than
SNDRV_RAWMIDI_DEVICES then it doesn't return an error code but just
tells you that the next device is "device + 1".

I have rewritten it to just return -EINVAL if you pass in a bogus value
that's either too high or too low.
