[PATCH] ALSA: seq: Restore created port information after insertion

[Cássio Gabriel]

Commit 2ee646353cd5 ("ALSA: seq: Register kernel port with full
information") split sequencer port creation from list insertion so a
port can be filled before it becomes visible.

However, snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() still copies port->addr back to the
ioctl argument before snd_seq_insert_port() assigns the final port
number. A successful SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_CREATE_PORT without
SNDRV_SEQ_PORT_FLG_GIVEN_PORT can therefore report port -1 to userspace.

Move the ioctl address copy after successful insertion, and keep the
default "port-%d" name assignment from overwriting a caller-provided port
name. This restores the observable behavior from before the split while
keeping the port populated before publication.

Fixes: 2ee646353cd5 ("ALSA: seq: Register kernel port with full information")
