From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

3.4.109-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

commit 1c94e65c668f44d2c69ae7e7fc268ab3268fba3e upstream.

The OSS emulation in synth-emux helper has a potential AB/BA deadlock
at the simultaneous closing and opening:

close ->
snd_seq_release() ->
sne_seq_free_client() ->
snd_seq_delete_all_ports(): takes client->ports_mutex ->
port_delete() ->
snd_emux_unuse(): takes emux->register_mutex

open ->
snd_seq_oss_open() ->
snd_emux_open_seq_oss(): takes emux->register_mutex ->
snd_seq_event_port_attach() ->
snd_seq_create_port(): takes client->ports_mutex

This patch addresses the deadlock by reducing the rance taking
emux->register_mutex in snd_emux_open_seq_oss(). The lock is needed
for the refcount handling, so move it locally. The calls in
emux_seq.c are already with the mutex, thus they are replaced with the
version without mutex lock/unlock.
