[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 18/47] ALSA: seq: Degrade the error message for too many opens

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

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.
