Thanks, I merged the fix now.
FWIW, below is the official patch I merged.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: seq: Cancel pending autoload work at unbinding device

ALSA sequencer core has a mechanism to load the enumerated devices
automatically, and it's performed in an off-load work.  This seems
causing some race when a sequencer is removed while the pending
autoload work is running.  As syzkaller spotted, it may lead to some
use-after-free:

The fix is simply to assure canceling the autoload work at removing
the device.
