Subject: [ 18/48] ALSA: seq: Fix missing error handling in snd_seq_timer_open()

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

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.
