[PATCH] ALSA: timer: fix deadlock in _snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave

From: Edward Adam Davis

[Syzbot reported]
swapper/2/0 just changed the state of lock:
ffff88802a304110 (&group->lock#2){..-.}-{2:2}, at: _snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave+0xa0/0xd0 sound/core/pcm_native.c:170
but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(&timer->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}


and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.


other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&timer->lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&group->lock#2);
lock(&timer->lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&group->lock#2);

*** DEADLOCK ***
[Fix]
Ensure that the context interrupt state is the same before and after using the
timer->lock.
