Subject: [PATCH 3.16 257/346] ALSA: timer: Fix zero-division by continue
 of uninitialized instance

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 9f8a7658bcafb2a7853f7a2eae8a94e87e6e695b upstream.

When a user timer instance is continued without the explicit start
beforehand, the system gets eventually zero-division error like:

   .....

Although a similar issue was spotted and a fix patch was merged in
commit [6b760bb2c63a: ALSA: timer: fix division by zero after
SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CONTINUE], it seems covering only a part of
iceberg.

In this patch, we fix the issue a bit more drastically.  Basically the
continue of an uninitialized timer is supposed to be a fresh start, so
we do it for user timers.  For the direct snd_timer_continue() call,
there is no way to pass the initial tick value, so we kick out for the
uninitialized case.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Adjust context
 - In _snd_timer_stop(), check the value of 'event' instead of 'stop']
