This condition is not checked in the patch.

The ALSA framework will give you a notification _once_.  If the
resulting data is larger than midi->buflen, then you have to continue
sending packets.  This is exactly what the call to f_midi_transmit()
does.

(To decrease latency, it might be a good idea to queue multiple requests,
but you wouldn't want to continue piling up requests if the host isn't
listening.  sound/usb/midi.c just allocates a fixed number of requests,
and always reuses them.)
