#1329739 — [PATCH 3.2 43/87] ALSA: seq: Fix missing NULL check at remove_events ioctl

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 030e2c78d3a91dd0d27fef37e91950dde333eba1 upstream.

snd_seq_ioctl_remove_events() calls snd_seq_fifo_clear()
unconditionally even if there is no FIFO assigned, and this leads to
an Oops due to NULL dereference.  The fix is just to add a proper NULL
check.
