The snd_midi_event_free() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The functions snd_seq_oss_timer_delete() and vunmap() perform also input
parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

The debug prints in snd-seq-oss module are rather useless.
Let's clean up before further modifications.

We've got bug reports that the module loading stuck on Debian system
with 3.10 kernel.  The debugging session revealed that the initial
registration of OSS sequencer clients stuck at module loading time,
which involves again with request_module() at the init phase.  This is
triggered only by special --install stuff Debian is using, but it's
still not good to have such loops.

As a workaround, call the registration part asynchronously.  This is a
better approach irrespective of the hang fix, in anyway.

The "dev" variable could be out of bounds.  Calling
snd_seq_oss_synth_is_valid() checks that it is is a valid device
which has been opened.  We check this inside set_note_event() so
this function can't succeed without a valid "dev".  But we need to
do the check earlier to prevent invalid dereferences and memory
corruption.

One call tree where "dev" could be out of bounds is:
-&gt; snd_seq_oss_oob_user()
   -&gt; snd_seq_oss_process_event()
      -&gt; extended_event()
         -&gt; note_on_event()

These aren't modules, but they do make use of these macros, so
they will need export.h to get that definition.  Previously,
they got it via the implicit module.h inclusion.

of it in &lt;linux/device.h&gt; but we are going to clean that up.  So
fix up those users now.

The implicit presence of module.h lured several users into
incorrectly thinking that they only needed/used modparam.h
but once we clean up the module.h presence, these will show
up as build failures, so fix 'em now.
