Subject: [PATCH 3.16 187/245] ALSA: seq: Fix racy access for queue timer
 in proc read

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

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

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

commit 60adcfde92fa40fcb2dbf7cc52f9b096e0cd109a upstream.

snd_seq_info_timer_read() reads the information of the timer assigned
for each queue, but it's done in a racy way which may lead to UAF as
spotted by syzkaller.

This patch applies the missing q->timer_mutex lock while accessing the
timer object as well as a slight code change to adapt the standard
coding style.
