ALSA: pcm: oss: Unlock mutex temporarily for sleeping at read/write
ALSA PCM OSS layer calls the generic __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() helper for the actual transfer of the audio data. The xfer helper may sleep long for waiting for the enough space becoming empty for read/write, and it does unlock/relock for the substream lock. This works fine, so far, but a slight problem specific to OSS layer is that OSS layer wraps yet more mutex (runtime->oss.params_lock) over __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() call; so this mutex is still locked during a possible long sleep, and it prevents the whole ioctl and other actions applied to the given stream. This patch adds the temporarily unlock and relock of the mutex around __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() call in the OSS layer to be more friendly to the concurrent accesses. The long mutex protection itself shouldn't be a real issue for the normal systems, and its influence appears only on strange things like fuzzers.
