sound/oss: remove offset from load_patch callbacks

Was: [PATCH] sound/oss/midi_synth: prevent underflow, use of
uninitialized value, and signedness issue

The offset passed to midi_synth_load_patch() can be essentially
arbitrary.  If it's greater than the header length, this will result in
a copy_from_user(dst, src, negative_val).  While this will just return
-EFAULT on x86, on other architectures this may cause memory corruption.
Additionally, the length field of the sysex_info structure may not be
initialized prior to its use.  Finally, a signed comparison may result
in an unintentionally large loop.

On suggestion by Takashi Iwai, version two removes the offset argument
from the load_patch callbacks entirely, which also resolves similar
issues in opl3.  Compile tested only.

v3 adjusts comments and hopefully gets copy offsets right.
