3.5.7.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 66efdc71d95887b652a742a5dae51fa834d71465 upstream.
snd_seq_timer_open() didn't catch the whole error path but let through
if the timer id is a slave. This may lead to Oops by accessing the
uninitialized pointer.
