ALSA: seq: More protection for concurrent write and ioctl races
commit 7bd80091 upstream. This patch is an attempt for further hardening against races between the concurrent write and ioctls. The previous fix d15d662e ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") covered the race of the pool initialization at writer and the pool resize ioctl by the client->ioctl_mutex (CVE-2018-1000004). However, basically this mutex should be applied more widely to the whole write operation for avoiding the unexpected pool operations by another thread. The only change outside snd_seq_write() is the additional mutex argument to helper functions, so that we can unlock / relock the given mutex temporarily during schedule() call for blocking write.
