[PATCH 4.4 050/117] ALSA: timer: Fix race at concurrent reads

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 4dff5c7b7093b19c19d3a100f8a3ad87cb7cd9e7 upstream.

snd_timer_user_read() has a potential race among parallel reads, as
qhead and qused are updated outside the critical section due to
copy_to_user() calls.  Move them into the critical section, and also
sanitize the relevant code a bit.
