Subject: [34-longterm 152/179] ALSA: timer - Fix Oops at closing slave timer

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 0584ffa548b6e59aceb027112f23a55f0133400e upstream.

A slave-timer instance has no timer reference, and this results in
NULL-dereference at stopping the timer, typically called at closing
the device.
