[patch] take tu->qlock with irqs disabled

From: Dan Carpenter

We should disable irqs when we take the tu->qlock because it is used in
the irq handler. The only place that doesn't is
snd_timer_user_ccallback(). Most of the time snd_timer_user_ccallback()
is called with interrupts disabled but the the first ti->ccallback()
call in snd_timer_notify1() has interrupts enabled.

This was caught by lockdep which generates the following message:

> =================================
