Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: control: do not access controls without possession of r_w lock

we should not access any of its memory when we don't ensure possession of
a read/write lock. Otherwise we risk a use after free access, which allows
local users to cause a denial of service and obtain sensitive information
from kernel memory.
