ALSA: fix locking in snd_pcm_open*() and snd_rawmidi_open*()
The PCM and rawmidi open callbacks have a lock against card->controls_list but it takes a wrong one, card->controls_rwsem, instead of a right one card->ctl_files_rwlock. This patch fixes them. This change also fixes automatically the potential deadlocks due to mm->mmap_sem in munmap and copy_from/to_user, reported by Sitsofe Wheeler: A: snd_ctl_elem_user_tlv(): card->controls_rwsem => mm->mmap_sem B: snd_pcm_open(): card->open_mutex => card->controls_rwsem C: munmap: mm->mmap_sem => snd_pcm_release(): card->open_mutex The patch breaks the chain.
