Subject: [PATCH 4.9 06/36] ALSA: line6: Fix racy initialization of LINE6 MIDI

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

commit 05ca447630334c323c9e2b788b61133ab75d60d3 upstream.

The initialization of MIDI devices that are found on some LINE6
drivers are currently done in a racy way; namely, the MIDI buffer
instance is allocated and initialized in each private_init callback
while the communication with the interface is already started via
line6_init_cap_control() call before that point.  This may lead to
Oops in line6_data_received() when a spurious event is received, as
reported by syzkaller.

This patch moves the MIDI initialization to line6_init_cap_control()
as well instead of the too-lately-called private_init for avoiding the
race.  Also this reduces slightly more lines, so it's a win-win
change.
