[ALSA] timers: add module refcounting for global timers

Modules: RTC timer driver,Timer Midlevel

Add a module pointer to the timer structure and use it for refcounting
instead of the card's module pointer to prevent the global timer
modules (rtctimer and hpetimer) from being removed while in use.
