Andrew Gabbasov c037239c23 ALSA: aloop: Remove redundant locking in timer open function
loopback_parse_timer_id() uses snd_card_ref(), that can lock on mutex,
also snd_timer_instance_new() uses non-atomic allocation, that can sleep.
So, both functions can not be called from loopback_snd_timer_open()
with cable->lock spinlock locked.

Moreover, most part of loopback_snd_timer_open() function body works
when the opposite stream of the same cable does not yet exist, and
the current stream is not yet completely open and can't be running,
so existing locking of loopback->cable_lock mutex is enough to protect
from conflicts with simultaneous opening or closing.
Locking of cable->lock spinlock is not needed in this case.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
