ALSA: timer: Assure timer resolution access always locked
There are still many places calling the timer's hw.c_resolution callback without lock, and this may lead to some races, as we faced in the commit a820ccbe ("ALSA: pcm: Fix UAF at PCM release via PCM timer access"). This patch changes snd_timer_resolution() to take the timer->lock for avoiding the races. A place calling this function already inside the lock (from the notifier) is replaced with the snd_timer_hw_resolution() accordingly, as well as wrapping with the lock around another place calling snd_timer_hw_resolution(), too.
