ALSA: seq: Fix data-race at module auto-loading
It's been reported that there is a possible data-race accessing to the global card_requested[] array at ALSA sequencer core, which is used for determining whether to call request_module() for the card or not. This data race itself is almost harmless, as it might end up with one extra request_module() call for the already loaded module at most. But it's still better to fix. This patch addresses the possible data race of card_requested[] and client_requested[] arrays by replacing them with bitmask. It's an atomic operation and can work without locks.
