Subject: ALSA: seq: Cancel pending autoload work at unbinding device
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit fc27fe7e8deef2f37cba3f2be2d52b6ca5eb9d57 upstream.
ALSA sequencer core has a mechanism to load the enumerated devices
automatically, and it's performed in an off-load work. This seems
causing some race when a sequencer is removed while the pending
autoload work is running. As syzkaller spotted, it may lead to some
use-after-free:

The fix is simply to assure canceling the autoload work at removing
the device.
