The recent change to move the virmidi output processing to a work
slightly modified the code to discard the unsubscribed outputs so that
it works without a temporary buffer. However, this is actually buggy,
and may spew a kernel warning due to the unexpected call of
snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack(), as triggered by syzbot.
This patch takes back to the original code in that part, use a
temporary buffer and simply repeat snd_rawmidi_transmit(), in order to
address the regression.
