This is essentially a revert of the commit a7588c896b ("ALSA: timer:
Check ack_list emptiness instead of bit flag"). The intended change
by the commit turns out to be insufficient, as snd_timer_close*()
always calls snd_timer_stop() that deletes the ack_list beforehand.
In theory, we can change the behavior of snd_timer_stop() to sync the
pending ack_list, but this will become a deadlock for the callback
like sequencer that calls again snd_timer_stop() from itself. So,
reverting the change is a more straightforward solution.
