ALSA: seq: oss: Fix data-race for max_midi_devs access
ALSA OSS sequencer refers to a global variable max_midi_devs at creating a new port, storing it to its own field. Meanwhile this variable may be changed by other sequencer events at snd_seq_oss_midi_check_exit_port() in parallel, which may cause a data race. OTOH, this data race itself is almost harmless, as the access to the MIDI device is done via get_mdev() and it's protected with a refcount, hence its presence is guaranteed. Though, it's sill better to address the data-race from the code sanity POV, and this patch adds the proper spinlock for the protection.
