Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: mts64: fix possible null-ptr-defer in snd_mts64_interrupt

I got a null-ptr-defer error report when I do the following tests
on the qemu platform:

make defconfig and CONFIG_PARPORT=m, CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m,
CONFIG_SND_MTS64=m

Then making test scripts:
cat>test_mod1.sh<<EOF
modprobe snd-mts64
modprobe snd-mts64
EOF

Executing the script, perhaps several times, we will get a null-ptr-defer
report, as follow:

syzkaller:~# ./test_mod.sh
snd_mts64: probe of snd_mts64.0 failed with error -5
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'snd_mts64': No such device
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
