The trigger flag in vmidi object can be referred in different contexts
concurrently, hence it's better to be put with READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() macros to assure the accesses.

The virmidi sequencer stuff tries to translate the rawmidi bytes to
sequencer events and deliver the packets at trigger callback. The
amount of the whole process of these translations and deliveries
depends on the incoming rawmidi bytes, and we have no limit for that;
this was the cause of a CPU soft lockup that had been reported and
fixed recently.
Although we've fixed the soft lockup by putting the temporary unlock
and cond_resched(), it's rather a quick band aid. In this patch,
meanwhile, the event parsing and delivery process is offloaded to a
dedicated work, and the trigger callback just kicks it off. It has
three merits, at least:
- The processing is always done in a sleepable context, which can
assure the event delivery with non-atomic flag without hackish
is_atomic() usage.
- Other relevant codes can be simplified, reducing the lines
- It makes me happier

The event handler in the virmidi sequencer code takes a read-lock for
the linked list traverse, while it's calling snd_seq_dump_var_event()
in the loop. The latter function may expand the user-space data
depending on the event type. It eventually invokes copy_from_user(),
which might be a potential dead-lock.
The sequencer core guarantees that the user-space data is passed only
with atomic=0 argument, but snd_virmidi_dev_receive_event() ignores it
and always takes read-lock(). For avoiding the problem above, this
patch introduces rwsem for non-atomic case, while keeping rwlock for
atomic case.
Also while we're at it: the superfluous irq flags is dropped in
snd_virmidi_input_open().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
