[PATCH 3.2 001/140] ALSA: seq: Fix regression by incorrect ioctl_mutex usages

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

This is the revised backport of the upstream commit
b3defb791b26ea0683a93a4f49c77ec45ec96f10

We had another backport (e.g. 623e5c8ae32b in 4.4.115), but it applies
the new mutex also to the code paths that are invoked via faked
kernel-to-kernel ioctls. As reported recently, this leads to a
deadlock at suspend (or other scenarios triggering the kernel
sequencer client).

This patch addresses the issue by taking the mutex only in the code
paths invoked by user-space, just like the original fix patch does.
