The kernel may spew a WARNING about UBSAN undefined behavior at
handling ALSA timer ioctl SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_NEXT_DEVICE:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in sound/core/timer.c:1524:19
signed integer overflow:
2147483647 + 1 cannot be represented in type 'int'
Call Trace:

 ....

It happens only when a value with INT_MAX is passed, as we're
incrementing it unconditionally.  So the fix is trivial, check the
value with INT_MAX.  Although the bug itself is fairly harmless, it's
better to fix it so that fuzzers won't hit this again later.
