Subject[3/6] ALSA: timer - Fix Oops at closing slave timer
2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 0584ffa548b6e59aceb027112f23a55f0133400e upstream.

A slave-timer instance has no timer reference, and this results in
NULL-dereference at stopping the timer, typically called at closing
the device.
