rawmidi devices expose the card number via IOCTLs, which allows to find the corresponding device in sysfs.
The sequencer provides no identifing data. Chromium works around this issue by scanning rawmidi as well as sequencer devices and matching them by using assumtions, how the kernel register sequencer devices.
This changes adds support for exposing the card number for kernel clients as well as the PID for user client.
The minor of the API version is changed to distinguish between the zero initialised reserved field and card number 0.

The idea looks good. One remaining question is whether only providing the card number or pid is sufficient for all cases.

The sizeof(int) is always 4. So let's make it explicit.
But, please make sure that this change won't lead to any incompatibility. Some architectures might align with 64bit long, although the 32bit int and the rest char[] should be fine on all known architectures, AFAIK.

Shouldn't the counterpart (put_pid()) be called anywhere else?
