ALSA: rawmidi: Fix possible deadlock with virmidi registration
When a seq-virmidi driver is initialized, it registers a rawmidi
instance with its callback to create an associated seq kernel client.
Currently it's done throughly in rawmidi's register_mutex context.
Recently it was found that this may lead to a deadlock another rawmidi
device that is being attached with the sequencer is accessed, as both
open with the same register_mutex. This was actually triggered by
syzkaller, as Dmitry Vyukov reported:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&grp->list_mutex);
lock(register_mutex#5);
lock(&grp->list_mutex);
lock(register_mutex#5);
*** DEADLOCK ***
======================================================
The fix is to simply move the registration parts in
snd_rawmidi_dev_register() to the outside of the register_mutex lock.
The lock is needed only to manage the linked list, and it's not
necessarily to cover the whole initialization process.
