While we attempted to work around the false-positive lockdep warning
due to the nested mutex lock in rawmidi at the open path for a UMP
legacy rawmidi, it didn't cover the similar locking at its close path,
and this still caused another false-positive reports by syzkaller.

Add a similar workaround to snd_rawmidi_kernel_release() as done in
the former commit 9c04742e73b3 ("ALSA: rawmidi: Work around
false-positive mutex lockdep warning") to cover completely.
