#1617678 — [PATCH 4.10 35/81] ALSA: seq: Fix race during FIFO resize

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 2d7d54002e396c180db0c800c1046f0a3c471597 upstream.

When a new event is queued while processing to resize the FIFO in
snd_seq_fifo_clear(), it may lead to a use-after-free, as the old pool
that is being queued gets removed.  For avoiding this race, we need to
close the pool to be deleted and sync its usage before actually
deleting it.

The issue was spotted by syzkaller.
