ALSA: seq: Remove arbitrary prioq insertion limit
The sequencer priority queue insertion path uses a hardcoded traversal limit of 10000 entries. The value is intended to catch a corrupted list, but it also becomes a real limit for valid queues. The event pool limit is per client, while a sequencer queue can be shared by multiple clients. A queue can therefore legitimately contain more than 10000 events. In that case, inserting an event that has to be placed past the arbitrary limit fails with -EINVAL. Use the queue's own cell count as the traversal bound instead. This keeps the protection against inconsistent list accounting or cyclic lists without rejecting valid large queues.
