[PATCH 0/6] ALSA: usb-audio: guard device-specific control transfers

[Will Porter]

Takashi confirmed that hardware access through usb_ctl_msg() should hold
snd_usb_lock, and suggested guarding scarlett2_usb() as the central point
for Scarlett2. This series adds that protection to the six device-specific
paths identified by the RFC audit.

Each guard covers a complete synchronous USB transaction. The guards are
outside private data and USB mutexes when a resume callback could affect
lock ordering.

FCP holds one reference across its complete initialization sequence so
runtime suspend cannot intervene between step zero, notification-URB setup,
and the two initialization commands.

Scarlett2 uses a dedicated unguarded helper only for the suspend-time config
save. That call already runs inside the USB suspend callback. The guarded
path covers normal controls and hwdep operations. The series does not claim
to hold a PM reference across Scarlett2's asynchronous flash-erase interval.

The affected devices were unavailable for runtime testing. I reproduced the
failure mechanism with an Audient iD14 MkI mixer path before the RFC. I then
built the complete sound/usb/ directory with the configuration from the
running x86-64 distribution kernel (7.2.0-ogc4.1.fc44.x86_64):

  make olddefconfig
  make -j4 W=1 sound/usb/

All six changed objects compiled without warnings, and the build linked
sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.o. The series also passes scripts/checkpatch.pl
--strict with no errors, warnings, or checks.
