ALSA: Use del_timer_sync() before freeing timer

The current code for freeing the emux timer is extremely dangerous:

  CPU0 CPU1
  ---- ----
snd_emux_timer_callback()
    snd_emux_free()
      spin_lock(&emu->voice_lock)
      del_timer(&emu->tlist); <-- returns immediately
      spin_unlock(&emu->voice_lock);
      [..]
      kfree(emu);

  spin_lock(&emu->voice_lock);

 [BOOM!]

Instead just use del_timer_sync() which will wait for the timer to finish
before continuing. No need to check if the timer is active or not when
doing so.

This doesn't fix the race of a possible re-arming of the timer, but at
least it won't use the data that has just been freed.
