Currently we allow unlimited number of timer instances, and it may
bring the system hogging way too much CPU when too many timer
instances are opened and processed concurrently. This may end up with
a soft-lockup report as triggered by syzkaller, especially when
hrtimer backend is deployed.
Since such insane number of instances aren't demanded by the normal
use case of ALSA sequencer and it merely opens a risk only for abuse,
this patch introduces the upper limit for the number of instances per
timer backend. As default, it's set to 1000, but for the fine-grained
timer like hrtimer, it's set to 100.

Instead of the previous ugly hack, introduce a new op, disconnect, to
snd_timer_instance object for handling the wake up of pending tasks
more cleanly.

Orignally proposed by Sam Revitch <sam.revitch@gmail.com>.
Unregister device files at disconnection to avoid the futher accesses.
Also, the dev_unregister callback is removed and replaced with the
combination of disconnect + free.
A new function snd_card_free_when_closed() is introduced, which is
used in USB disconnect callback.

Modules: RTC timer driver,Timer Midlevel
Add a module pointer to the timer structure and use it for refcounting
instead of the card's module pointer to prevent the global timer
modules (rtctimer and hpetimer) from being removed while in use.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
