Subject: [PATCH 3.2 092/147] ALSA: seq: Enable 'use' locking in all
 configurations

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@...ethink.co.uk>

commit 8009d506a1dd00cf436b0c4cca0dcec130580a21 upstream.

The 'use' locking macros are no-ops if neither SMP or SND_DEBUG is
enabled.  This might once have been OK in non-preemptible
configurations, but even in that case snd_seq_read() may sleep while
relying on a 'use' lock.  So always use the proper implementations.
