In ALSA timer core, the active timer instance is managed in active_list linked list. Each element is added / removed dynamically at timer start, stop and in timer interrupt. The problem is that snd_timer_interrupt() has a thinko and leaves the element in active_list when it's the last opened element. This eventually leads to list corruption or use-after-free error. This hasn't been revealed because we used to delete the list forcibly in snd_timer_stop() in the past. However, the recent fix avoids the double-stop behavior (in commit [f784beb75ce8: ALSA: timer: Fix link corruption due to double start or stop]), and this leak hits reality. This patch fixes the link management in snd_timer_interrupt(). Now it simply unlinks no matter which stream is.
