[PATCH 23/25 v2] ALSA/dummy: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The tasklet is used to defer the execution of snd_pcm_period_elapsed() to
the softirq context. Using the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_SOFT base invokes the timer
callback in softirq context as well which renders the tasklet useless.

Thank you for providing a fix.

v1âv2: merged Takashi Sakamoto fixup of the original patch into v2.

So this patch now is okay?
