ALSA: seq: Improve data consistency at polling
[ Upstream commit e3cd33ab17c33bd8f1a9df66ec83a15dd8f7afbb ] snd_seq_poll() calls snd_seq_write_pool_allocated() that reads out a field in client->pool object, while it can be updated concurrently via ioctls, as reported by syzbot. The data race itself is harmless, as it's merely a poll() call, and the state is volatile. OTOH, the read out of poll object info from the caller side is fragile, and we can leave it better in snd_seq_pool_poll_wait() alone. A similar pattern is seen in snd_seq_kernel_client_write_poll(), too, which is called from the OSS sequencer. This patch drops the pool checks from the caller side and add the pool->lock in snd_seq_pool_poll_wait() for better data consistency.
