[PATCH] SOUND: OSS sequencer should be initialized after snd_seq_system_client_init

When build SND_SEQUENCER in kernel then OSS sequencer(alsa_seq_oss_init)
is initialized before System (snd_seq_system_client_init) which leads to
memory leak :

unreferenced object 0xf6b0e680 (size 256):

The correct order should be :

System (snd_seq_system_client_init) should be initialized before
OSS sequencer(alsa_seq_oss_init) which is equivalent to :

1. insmod sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko
2. insmod sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko
3. insmod sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi-event.ko
4. insmod sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.ko

Including sound/core/seq/oss/Makefile after other seq modules
fixes the ordering and memory leak.
