Subject: [PATCH 5.19 028/207] ALSA: hda: Fix hang at HD-audio codec unbinding due to refcount saturation

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

commit ead3d3c5b54f76da79c079e61bacb4279ec56965 upstream.

We fixed the potential deadlock at dynamic unbinding the HD-audio
codec at the commit 7206998f578d ("ALSA: hda: Fix potential deadlock
at codec unbinding"), but ironically, this caused another potential
deadlock.  The current code uses refcount_dec() and waits for the
pending task with wait_event for dropping the refcount to 0.  This
works fine when PCMs are assigned and actually waiting for the
refcount drop.

Meanwhile, when there was no PCM assigned, the refcount_dec() call
itself was supposed to drop to zero -- alas, it doesn't in reality;
refcount_dec() complains, spews kernel warning and it saturates
instead of dropping to 0, due to the nature of refcount_dec()
implementation.  This eventually blocks the wait_event() wakeup and
the code get stuck there.

For avoiding the problem, we call refcount_dec_and_test() and skips
the sync-wait if it already reaches to zero.

The patch does a slight code reshuffling to make sure to invoke other
disconnect calls before the sync-wait, too.
