Subject: CVE-2022-49291: ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent hw_params and hw_free calls

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent hw_params and hw_free calls

Currently we have neither proper check nor protection against the
concurrent calls of PCM hw_params and hw_free ioctls, which may result
in a UAF.  Since the existing PCM stream lock can't be used for
protecting the whole ioctl operations, we need a new mutex to protect
those racy calls.

This patch introduced a new mutex, runtime->buffer_mutex, and applies
it to both hw_params and hw_free ioctl code paths.  Along with it, the
both functions are slightly modified (the mmap_count check is moved
into the state-check block) for code simplicity.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49291 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
