ALSA: line6: Fix racy initialization of LINE6 MIDI
The initialization of MIDI devices that are found on some LINE6 drivers are currently done in a racy way; namely, the MIDI buffer instance is allocated and initialized in each private_init callback while the communication with the interface is already started via line6_init_cap_control() call before that point. This may lead to Oops in line6_data_received() when a spurious event is received, as reported by syzkaller. This patch moves the MIDI initialization to line6_init_cap_control() as well instead of the too-lately-called private_init for avoiding the race. Also this reduces slightly more lines, so it's a win-win change.
