If we pass in a device which is higher than SNDRV_RAWMIDI_DEVICES then
this function just returns device + 1 which isn't helpful.  I've
modified it to return -EINVAL instead.

Also Smatch complains because the "device + 1" could be an integer
overflow.  It's harmless, but we may as well silence the warning.

This should be "device >= SNDRV_RAWMIDI_DEVICES".

Also note that this check changes a bit semantics. All other NEXT_DEVICE ioctls returns -1 if the value is beyond the last device (meaning no more devices were found). So the

               if (device == SNDRV_RAWMIDI_DEVICES)
                        device = -1;

check should be

               if (device >= SNDRV_RAWMIDI_DEVICES)
                        device = -1;

... resulting in one line patch.
