Subject: ALSA: timer: Code cleanup

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit c3b1681375dc6e71d89a3ae00cc3ce9e775a8917 upstream.

This is a minor code cleanup without any functional changes:
- Kill keep_flag argument from _snd_timer_stop(), as all callers pass only it false.
- Remove redundant NULL check in _snd_timer_stop().
