[ALSA] seq-timer: restrict timer frequencies

Modules: ALSA sequencer

When no default timer frequency has been set, initialize_timer() just
uses the maximum frequency supported by the timer, which is ridiculously
high on 96 kHz timers.

This patch introduces a default frequency of 1000 Hz for this case, and
makes sure that a frequency set by the user isn't too high.
