Subject: [03/71] ALSA: Fix yet another race in disconnection

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit a45e3d6b13e97506b616980c0f122c3389bcefa4 upstream.

This patch fixes a race between snd_card_file_remove() and
snd_card_disconnect().  When the card is added to shutdown_files list
in snd_card_disconnect(), but it's freed in snd_card_file_remove() at
the same time, the shutdown_files list gets corrupted.  The list member
must be freed in snd_card_file_remove() as well.
