[PATCH v2] ALSA: pcmtest: stop timer in the hw_free callback

From: Ivan Orlov
Date: Wed Dec 06 2023 - 10:21:02 EST


Stop timer in the 'hw_free' callback instead of the 'close' callback
since we want the timer to be stopped before the DMA buffer is released.
Otherwise, it could trigger a kernel panic in some circumstances, for
instance when the DMA buffer is already released but the timer callback
is still running.

V1 -> V2:
- Remove useless NULLing of v_iter->substream. It will be released in
'close' callback.
