OK, I'm going to queue the list fix now, at least.  Below is the
patch with a proper description.

If there comes no objection, I'll queue the former ioctl mutex fix,
too.

Oh well, there is another :-<

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: timer: Fix double unlink of active_list

ALSA timer instance object has a couple of linked lists and they are
unlinked unconditionally at snd_timer_stop().  Meanwhile
snd_timer_interrupt() unlinks it, but it calls list_del() which leaves
the element list itself unchanged.  This ends up with unlinking twice,
and it was caught by syzkaller fuzzer.

The fix is to use list_del_init() variant properly there, too.
