Subject: [ 17/25] ALSA: control: Dont access controls outside of
 protected regions

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@...afoo.de>

(commit fd9f26e4eca5d08a27d12c0933fceef76ed9663d upstream)

A control that is visible on the card->controls list can be freed at any time.
This means we must not access any of its memory while not holding the
controls_rw_lock. Otherwise we risk a use after free access.
