Thanks for a quick test.  FWIW, below is the final patch I'm going to

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: seq: Fix race at closing in virmidi driver

The virmidi driver has an open race at closing its assigned rawmidi
device, and this may lead to use-after-free in
snd_seq_deliver_single_event().

Plug the hole by properly protecting the linked list deletion and
calling in the right order in snd_virmidi_input_close().
