Takashi Iwai c3f8a5000e ALSA: rawmidi: Make snd_rawmidi_transmit() race-free
commit 06ab30034e upstream.

A kernel WARNING in snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() is triggered by
syzkaller fuzzer:
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 20739 at sound/core/rawmidi.c:1136

Also a similar warning is found but in another path:

In the former case, the reason is that virmidi has an open code
calling snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() with the value calculated outside
the spinlock.   We may use snd_rawmidi_transmit() in a loop just for
consuming the input data, but even there, there is a race between
snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek() and snd_rawmidi_tranmit_ack().

Similarly in the latter case, it calls snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek() and
snd_rawmidi_tranmit_ack() separately without protection, so they are
racy as well.

The patch tries to address these issues by the following ways:
- Introduce the unlocked versions of snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek() and
  snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() to be called inside the explicit lock.
- Rewrite snd_rawmidi_transmit() to be race-free (the former case).
- Make the split calls (the latter case) protected in the rawmidi spin
  lock.
