ALSA: timer: Replace tasklet with work

The tasklet is an old API that should be deprecated, usually can be
converted to another decent API. In ALSA core timer API, the
callbacks can be offlined to a tasklet when a flag is set in the timer
backend. It can be achieved gracefully with a work queued in the
high-prio system workqueue.

This patch replaces the usage of tasklet in ALSA timer API with a
simple work. Currently the tasklet feature is used only in the system
timer and hrtimer backends, so both are patched to use the new flag
name SNDRV_TIMER_HW_WORK, too.

ALSA: timer: Fix possible race at assigning a timer instance

When a new timer instance is created and assigned to the active link
in snd_timer_open(), the caller still doesn't (can't) set its callback
and callback data. In both the user-timer and the sequencer-timer
code, they do manually set up the callbacks after calling
snd_timer_open(). This has a potential risk of race when the timer
instance is added to the already running timer target, as the callback
might get triggered during setting up the callback itself.

This patch tries to address it by changing the API usage slightly:

- An empty timer instance is created at first via the new function
snd_timer_instance_new(). This object isn't linked to the timer
list yet.
- The caller sets up the callbacks and others stuff for the new timer
instance.
- The caller invokes snd_timer_open() with this instance, so that it's
linked to the target timer.

For closing, do similarly:

- Call snd_timer_close(). This unlinks the timer instance from the
timer list.
- Free the timer instance via snd_timer_instance_free() after that.

ALSA: timer: Revert active callback sync check at close

This is essentially a revert of the commit a7588c896b05 ("ALSA: timer:
Check ack_list emptiness instead of bit flag"). The intended change
by the commit turns out to be insufficient, as snd_timer_close*()
always calls snd_timer_stop() that deletes the ack_list beforehand.

In theory, we can change the behavior of snd_timer_stop() to sync the
pending ack_list, but this will become a deadlock for the callback
like sequencer that calls again snd_timer_stop() from itself. So,
reverting the change is a more straightforward solution.

ALSA: timer: Check ack_list emptiness instead of bit flag

For checking the pending timer instance that is still left on the
timer object that is being closed, we set/clear a bit flag
SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK around the call of callbacks. This can be
simplified by replace with the list_empty() call for ti->ack_list.
This covers the existence more comprehensively and safely.

A gratis bonus is that we can get rid of SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK bit
flag definition as well.

ALSA: timer: Limit max instances per timer

Currently we allow unlimited number of timer instances, and it may
bring the system hogging way too much CPU when too many timer
instances are opened and processed concurrently. This may end up with
a soft-lockup report as triggered by syzkaller, especially when
hrtimer backend is deployed.

Since such insane number of instances aren't demanded by the normal
use case of ALSA sequencer and it merely opens a risk only for abuse,
this patch introduces the upper limit for the number of instances per
timer backend. As default, it's set to 1000, but for the fine-grained
timer like hrtimer, it's set to 100.
