commit 11749e086b2766cccf6217a527ef5c5604ba069c upstream.

I got this with syzkaller:

==================================================================

There are a couple of problems that I can see:

- ioctl(SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_SELECT), which potentially sets
tu->queue/tu->tqueue to NULL on memory allocation failure, so read()
would get a NULL pointer dereference like the above splat

- the same ioctl() can free tu->queue/to->tqueue which means read()
could potentially see (and dereference) the freed pointer

We can fix both by taking the ioctl_lock mutex when dereferencing
->queue/->tqueue, since that's always held over all the ioctl() code.

Just looking at the code I find it likely that there are more problems
here such as tu->qhead pointing outside the buffer if the size is
changed concurrently using SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS.
