ALSA: seq: Fix copy_from_user() call inside lock

The event handler in the virmidi sequencer code takes a read-lock for
the linked list traverse, while it's calling snd_seq_dump_var_event()
in the loop.  The latter function may expand the user-space data
depending on the event type.  It eventually invokes copy_from_user(),
which might be a potential dead-lock.

The sequencer core guarantees that the user-space data is passed only
with atomic=0 argument, but snd_virmidi_dev_receive_event() ignores it
and always takes read-lock().  For avoiding the problem above, this
patch introduces rwsem for non-atomic case, while keeping rwlock for
atomic case.

Also while we're at it: the superfluous irq flags is dropped in
snd_virmidi_input_open().
