OK, then this might be a possible race at the current snd_timer_stop()
implementation.  There is no sync action there, so the ISR might be
still alive after snd_timer_close() call.  Or might be another race.
This pattern looks a bit different, as it's involved with hrtimer.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow.
