Subject[PATCH 3.2 16/67] ALSA: seq: Degrade the error message for too many opens
3.2.78-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit da10816e3d923565b470fec78a674baba794ed33 upstream.

ALSA OSS sequencer spews a kernel error message ("ALSA: seq_oss: too
many applications") when user-space tries to open more than the
limit. This means that it can easily fill the log buffer.

Since it's merely a normal error, it's safe to suppress it via
pr_debug() instead.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: this was still using snd_printk()]
