H A Dak4117.c115b94d5 Fri Feb 14 05:47:57 CST 2014 Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@parallels.com> ALSA: ak4117: Do not free priv until timer handler hasn't actually stopped using it

Function del_timer() does not guarantee that timer was really deleted.
If the timer handler is beeing executed at the moment, the function
does nothing. So, it's possible to use already freed memory in the handler:

This was found using grep and compile-tested only.
