Subject: ALSA: seq: Fix time account regression

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit 9b50898ad96c793a8f7cde9d8f281596d752a7dd upstream.

The recent rewrite of the sequencer time accounting using timespec64 in the commit [3915bf294652: ALSA: seq_timer: use monotonic times internally] introduced a bad regression. Namely, the time reported back doesn't increase but goes back and forth.

The culprit was obvious: the delta is stored to the result (cur_time = delta), instead of adding the delta (cur_time += delta)!

Let's fix it.
