[PATCH 3.4 21/26] ALSA: control: Dont access controls outside of protected regions

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fd9f26e4eca5d08a27d12c0933fceef76ed9663d upstream.

A control that is visible on the card->controls list can be freed at any time.
This means we must not access any of its memory while not holding the
controls_rw_lock. Otherwise we risk a use after free access.
