snd_seq_info_timer_read() reads the information of the timer assigned for each queue, but it's done in a racy way which may lead to UAF as spotted by syzkaller. This patch applies the missing q->timer_mutex lock while accessing the timer object as well as a slight code change to adapt the standard coding style.
