[PATCH 18/36] ALSA: seq: Treat snd_seq_client object directly in client drivers

[Takashi Iwai]

Introduce the new helpers, snd_seq_kernel_client_get() and _put() for
kernel client drivers to treat the snd_seq_client more directly.
This allows us to reduce the exported symbols and APIs at each time we
need to access some field in future.
