ALSA: timer: Use mod_timer() for rearming the system timer
commit 4a07083ed6 upstream.
ALSA system timer backend stops the timer via del_timer() without sync
and leaves del_timer_sync() at the close instead. This is because of
the restriction by the design of ALSA timer: namely, the stop callback
may be called from the timer handler, and calling the sync shall lead
to a hangup. However, this also triggers a kernel BUG() when the
timer is rearmed immediately after stopping without sync:
kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:966!

It's the place where add_timer() checks the pending timer. It's clear
that this may happen after the immediate restart without sync in our
cases.
So, the workaround here is just to use mod_timer() instead of
add_timer(). This looks like a band-aid fix, but it's a right move,
as snd_timer_interrupt() takes care of the continuous rearm of timer.
