ALSA: aloop - add locking to timer access

Browse source 
When the loopback timer handler is running, calling del_timer() (for STOP
trigger) will not wait for the handler to complete before deactivating the
timer. The timer gets rescheduled in the handler as usual. Then a subsequent
START trigger will try to start the timer using add_timer() with a timer pending
leading to a kernel panic.

Serialize the calls to add_timer() and del_timer() using a spin lock to avoid
this.
