This command works on v3.8 even without your patch. I can arecord/aplay several times 
without problems.

With my original command 'arecord [-M] -f cd sound.wav --duration 10', the soft lockup 
appears both in v3.8 and v3.8.4 with and without your patch. So it looks like the 
patch does not help here.
